Nice to be enjoyed

The Hi Jinks bookings for Burns nights are repeated every year, we must be doing something right!
And as a spin-off we are being booked for a joint 16th / 50th birthday party.

2017 ends, 2018 begins

2017 ended with a couple of family parties, both arranged at the last minute. A 60th birthday with Millstone band and a Diamond wedding with Celtic Knot. Both good evenings, good music from fun bands to work with, and dance floors full of all ages enjoying a family occasion.
The year always starts with Burns Nights and Holly Holy Day. Last Saturday I was in Warrington with Hi Jinks, another full floor of good dancers (+ haggis / piper etc). A fundraiser for Oasis which raised over £700. Next weekend I shall start the day in Nantwich, commemorating a Civil War battle with the band Forlorn Hope in the museum. 17th century tunes played C17 kinds of instruments, and a little C17 dancing. Then on the Stand Golf club for another Burns Night with High Jinks. Another crowd who seem to enjoy themselves every year.

And I look forward to a St Patricks Night ceilidh with an Irish band I've not worked with for a while.

And between all that dancing and calling at weekly club nights, and enjoying the bands and callers at Saturday dances.
I've also joined a choir Tatton Singers, which I am enjoying - but oh, I do have to work at it. Really shows me what it's like for beginner dancers!
