Gordon Smith and I were back tonight playing for the Dunbar Grammar School S6 prom at the lovely Broxmouth Courtyard

A great dancing crowd. All eager to get on the floor and do the dancing.

It's great to see schools promoting Scottish dancing.

We look forward to playing for the school again.

We enjoyed playing for the Dunbar Grammar School S6 prom this evening.

The teachers have done an excellent job at teaching the students the dancing and they were all very appreciative of our music.

Is your school looking for music to come and play at events? From duo to full six piece band we can cover all venues and budgets. Email [email protected] or message me through Facebook.

Today was a double feature day.
After our excellent afternoon ceilidh in Stramash we played at Leith Arches for a brilliant wedding ceilidh for Marlena and Iain.

A mixture of Scottish and Germans who danced very well. Everyone was helping those who had not danced before.

If you would like us to come and play for your wedding ceilidh please email [email protected] for more information.
