Terry has put together the programme/set list for the June dance. It features a lot of the dances that were called in those first CMC bushdances. Terry has also contacted a number of the musicians (“old celts”) who played on stage at those early dances and a number of them will be available to play at this dance.
Everyone who comes to the Monday sessions is welcome to come on stage and join the band.
