Sound samples

If you can't get to hear the band in person, these sound clips, recorded when we played as a 3 piece (piano, drums, accordion) should give you an idea of the band sound.

Download		 The Canadian Barn dance. A couples dance, easy to learn.  1590k v. 1 Feb 14, 2009 3:05 AM Ian Kidd
CircassianCircle.mp3
Download		 The Circassian Circle. Everyone gets on the floor and takes part in this dance. A good one for early on in the evening, everyone gets a shot at dancing with each other.  2258k v. 1 Feb 14, 2009 3:07 AM Ian Kidd
DashingWhiteSgt.mp3
Download		 Dashing White Sergeant. Another great set dance - sets of 6; 3 facing 3. Easy to learn but usually ends up quite chaotic. Everyone gets a good laugh.  2374k v. 1 Feb 14, 2009 3:10 AM Ian Kidd
GayGordons.mp3
Download		 The Gay Gordons. Probably the easiest couples dance we do. Nearly everyone knows this dance. We usually start the night with this.  1329k v. 1 Feb 14, 2009 3:11 AM Ian Kidd
StripTheWillow.mp3
Download		 Strip the willow. A frantic but very easy dance (it's basically just spinning your partner around) and designed to work up an appetite for the mid-evening buffet. The band loves playing this one and we have all kinds of solos during this set.  4167k v. 1 Feb 14, 2009 3:18 AM Ian Kidd
