Final SCMA ceili of 2007/2008

The 2007/2008 season is now over and the final ceili was a bunch o fun.

We had slightly more than three sets worth and ran through the South Galway Half Set,

as well as a back to back hornpipe we learned from Pat Murphy, most of the Cashel Set, Three Tunes and closed with the Siege of Ennis.

Lochrann's June 8 2008

Alright. I'm posting this almost a week late. Sue me, work sent me out of town.

It was a fun session. We did a bit of the Sliabh Luachra, Galway half set, misc other sets and a bit of stepping about.

We even worked with Deina a bit on a number she'll be doing soon. Shh. it's a secret.

Lochrann's May 25, 2008

It's been nearly a week since the last session but work sent me out of town with no real time to write.

It was a fun session and we had enough for a full set so ran through bits of several including the Ballyvourney reel set and a bit of the Connemara.

Good craic. More pictures through the link.

Emerald School at Taste Addison

Yesterday a bunch o' dancers from the Emerald School performed at Taste Addison.

It was bloody hot but a good performance. Unfortunately due to the concrete nobody danced in their hard shoes but the audience seemed to enjoy it just the same.

Club Rince Ghaelaigh put on another dance demo at Colonial Lodge this past Sunday and they've got a good dance floor going. It's a shame the residents aren't physically up to dancing cause they've got a good room for it.

We did parts of the Clare Plain Set, the Four-Hand reel, some stepping about, a Two-Hand and the Duke Reel.

Check out the pictures through the link...

Bluebonnet Feis wrap-up

The feis is over but by all accounts it was a well-run success. I do wonder how long Leslie will be sleeping. I imagine we'll see her sometime next month.

If you want to start reading about it and seeing pictures in order, start with this post and follow through by clicking on the post links you'll see at the top of each post. The post following the first is "Feis beginnings".
