Music for Thursday

We have added another tune to the list on the Music page, as we will need 48 bars if we dance the Willow Tree. So we'll play Oats, Beans and Barley.

As some people learn tunes by ear Marilyn has made midi files of all our tunes but I don't know how to put them on here, so you'll have to email me mjw@mowaddington.plus.com

Next Meeting

See you all on Oct 20th.
We have a few new tunes, see the Music page

See you tomorrow

Bring your friends

Next Thursday

I am waiting for the callers to let me have their choice of dances.
We will be playing -
Oyster Girl, Moon and Seven Stars, Bear Dance, Worcestershire Hornpipe, South Wind and Chinese Breakdown from the tunes you already have
Maggie in the Wood and We Will Down with the French from http://www.blackcatband.co.uk/Tunes/

More to follow, soon I hope.

See you all at the Deaf centre at 8pm

Future Meetings

We decided not to meet in July.
Next meeting Sep 15th.

It would help if callers could tell me their dances before we all get into holiday mood.

Please bring a friend,

Last night's tunes and dances

Joan started by repeating Circle Waltz to the tune South Wind.
Marilyn taught us Nottingham swing to the tunes Kafoozalum and Keel Row.
Peter got almost everyone up to dance Oxo reel, leaving just 4 musicians to play Oyster Girl.
We learnt the tune Duke of Kent's Waltz and Pam called the dance.
Ron called a Scottish dance, Spiffin. We played Moon and Seven Stars for it.
Jenny revised Grimstock, last time we learnt a simplified version, this time we danced the full dance.
Helen called Three Around Three. As I hadn't handed out the music for it's own tune we played Bear Dance.
Mo finished with the dance Chinese Circle to the tune Chinese Breakdown

June meeting

We met last night. Some of the people who were there last time were away, but we had 17, which was enough to dance and play.
The musicians are very versatile at getting up to dance when needed. The dancers will have to learn to play a portable instrument in time for September.
