Blazin Fiddles
Lovely night at the hall…great to see The Manleys, Boffin Cameron’s parents, Pippa , village leaders Ian and Helen, Velvet Voiced Linda , Nick, Claire and Other choir members all enjoying the music
Blazin Fiddles make a great sound and its wonderful that your village hall is able to host such a show. There's a lot of community spirit in Trelawnyd.
I'm so glad you and friends and villagers who love music enjoying Blazin'Fiddles right along with you. I've long loved the Chieftan Chieftians, too Wish you had Pat's blog host so I could see what I've written. Hope you can decifer my intent.
You know what I love? I love watching people up and dancing without a hint of self consciousness. Our community hosts local musicians to play in the park in the summer. A local politician's wife took quite a snit, once, that a group of developmentally disabled adults were dancing in front of the stage and made them sit down. (At an outdoor concert, no less!) People were quite outraged about it, and the local politician's wife got quite quiet. But the disabled did not get up to dance. My own daughter, a self conscious teenager who thought herself overweight (she wasn't), suddenly got up, without one word to me, and went to the front, and asked one to dance with her. He did, and then she began pulling them up one by one, until they were all dancing again. To this day, it remains one of the most beautiful acts of humanity I have ever seen.

DeleteLovely to see the happy dancing people near the stage x
ReplyDeleteA friend of the family plays with the Chieftains. My Scots-Irish blood loves that stuff.
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of people were up dancing too -- that's great!
ReplyDeleteWow ... that music would certainly liven up a dull day and make me feel better.

DeleteImpressive sounds - and all achieved without the 'help' of tinned beans!
ReplyDeleteJust what is needed to cheer the spirits on dark days!
ReplyDeleteI felt like clapping my hands watching that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad people were dancing - the music and players deserved it.
ReplyDeleteMusic hath charms... Just what you needed to soothe your savage breast. Did you get up and dance? xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a mature, selfless act on your daughter's part. You should be so proud of her, which I'm sure you are! xx
DeleteIt was one of those moments in which a mom gets to see that despite her mistakes and shortcomings, she did all right after all.
DeleteNice diverting evening.
ReplyDeleteGood music and community — good salve for the soul. Lovely.
