Looking for a ceilidh dance? Bob has you covered!
Bob can now call about 5 dances at the moment, as well as sing and play guitar or banjo. That way dancers can sing and dance at the same time and also those not dancing can still be part of the night. For example;- Gay Gordons can be danced to Killiecrankie/ Mharies Wedding with lyrics, and so on. At the moment Bob can call Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Flying Scotsman, Orcadian Strip the Willow, and St Bernards Waltz, and is working on more.
