A new village hall for us this weekend, and what a lovely one! It was still hot hot hot, but we've now officially added shorts to the Barnbuskers uniform! The occasion was a birthday party, with loads of tiny tots dancing. #lympstonevillage #lympstonedevon

Time to reacquaint myself with some Christmas tunes for the Barnbuskers Christmas Ceilidh Barn Dance next Thursday 4th December at Minehead Rugby Club. The tunes come around only once a year unlike the folk tunes we play almost every week. So they need a bit of preparation. – at Blue Anchor, England

Lovely bit of fiddling by Laura on Christmas Eve afternoon. The accordion playing was quite respectable too, but I was doing something funny with my face, hence the added swirls to try and get rid of it! Happy Christmas everyone πŸŽ„ The tune is #Alexanders #fiddle #accordion
