Great ceili in Topsham, Devon on Friday night - our thanks to Maggie Daniel and team, as well as to Matt and the band for the wonderful music.
They've since played in Slough and Basingstoke, and tonight they're at the London Irish Centre. Then heading Northwards.

Great evening at The Beehive on Monday! A real party atmosphere. As there will be no set dancing there on the first Monday in August, instead The Perfect Cure will be playing there for dancing on Thursday 30th July.
