Great dance, and great calling. Thanks for posting. I think I will adapt this to my style of calling and add it to my repertoire.

Enjoyable video, John! Excellent calling, music, dance, and dancers. Is the Ashley Hutchings recording of La Russe available for download anywhere?

[@johnthesweeney]

Hi Allan. Thanks! The music is from the "Kickin' up the Sawdust" CD by Ashley Hutchings. Sadly it doesn't appear to be available anywhere online. Copies of the CD are available at high prices. E-mail me at [e-mail] if you want more information.

The band is spot on. That’s Bob Cann to a tee, that’s identical to LP of Bobs. Lovely 😊 man.

While I use live bands whenever possible, that particular ceilidh was run with recorded music. So that is indeed Bob Cann playing!
