Two ceilidhs with the Time Bandits

A Chester based band I really enjoy working with the Time Bandits had asked me to call with them at the St Philips church 150th  anniversary ceilidh in July. I think people liked it.
October 6th was a splendid day.
3 bands.
The first was the Mere Brass Band who were playing for the rededication of Knutsford war memorial. Tatton Singers were leading the hymns.
Then change into my 'callers waistcoat' for a birthday party in Altrincham. With TheTime Bandits
Lots of nice surprises 'what are they doing with that tune now?' 'Oh, Helen's playing bagpipes' 'now saxophone!' Lots of kids enjoying the music.
Then a dash to Poynton to hear Portland Drive with Geoff Cubitt. An unmissable combination, excellent caller and band. Another splendid fiddler, another saxophone (/flute), more 'what are they doing with that tune now' moments.
Yesss!
