The Israelites - The Dualers

[@ainemcgowan4495]

It's so good to see someone carefree and uninhibited.... Just enjoying the music... It amazes me when I see people dancing because music effects us in lots of different ways individually.

[@XabooAlex]

I was in Darwin Nt many years ago with two of my daughters and one of their friends. I started dancing to the music across the road and my family were embarrassed. Of course I ignored them

[@rogerfournier3284]

2024 and things are very bad in Keir Starmer’s Britain. This brought back good memories and made me smile. I remember buying the Duallers CD and playing it for hours!

[@robertwatson9940]

Starmer has flown to Germany five times. He wants to ban smoking in pub car parks and gardens. They are private property nothing to do with him. And only 2 cheese biscuits per person. Starmer is a joker. Haha very funny.

Starmers been there 5 minutes, easy Tiger… maybe youd like Truss back?

[@robertwatson9940]

@@gregcoles401 Starmer is a fool. How is he going to stop smoking. All the pensioners will have to sit in the library . If he takes there money away. There are two wars going on. Health and Policing are always subjects people think about. Starmer thinks he is a marxist. He should call another election.
