The vibe is always there and that's the main thing. It's sometimes good to be able to break it up and not have a solid night of dancing, and to mix it up with the occasional song or set of tunes. It would be GREAT if we could share a night with some Zambian musicians. Could lead to some interesting fusion and even some new material! It's always good to be doing something for a good cause and I'm always up for it Yeah the gig was a wee bit quiet but the crowd that was there certainly enjoyed it.

I am beginning to think that we are losing our caller and gaining a demonstrator !! Do you know why he takes to the floor so regurlarly and so readily ? Is it because acoustics make it difficult sometimes to call a dance through the microphone so people can't hear ,people get confused etc...? Is it because the chairs we get to sit on can be a tad uncomfortable ? Hmm Na it is because the man absolutely LOVES dancing which is just as well since it always seems to rub on the rest of the audience . It was a nice gig if a bit quiet but everyone seemed to enjoy it although I would have to say that the night belonged to a couple of lassies who were on the floor for most of the evening. Despite the low number of dancers we pretty much had a full floor towards the end and Stevie was still playing with us !! Look forward to Stirling next week . “Stephen’s Nightly Dance Quota – 3 (hurrah!)”
