Two bookings with the Black Cat Band

Chester Festival invited us again for their Family Ceilidh. I always enjoy this, and we thought it went well this year with plenty of dancers of all ages.
Then the following Saturday a wedding anniversary celebration. We were impressed by the way everyone joined in, and their expertise. Then in the break we found a reason for their musicality -  many of the guests sang for us. They were members Cheshire Chord - excellent.

The year so far

The third weekend in Jan brought a repeat booking for a Burns Night ceilidh at Whitefield with High Jinks, then another regular event, the Sealed Knot banquet as part of Holly Holy Day in Nantwich where I called Playford dances from the 17th century, with the old instruments of the Forlorn Hope band. We enjoyed the whole of Holly Holy Day - the Forlorn Hope performed in the museum in the morning, there was a battle re-enacted in the afternoon but we opted for a music session in a pub instead.
In April I enjoyed calling with a band  I'd not met before, Devils Fire.
And the usual club nights, dancing and calling.
