Folk Ensemble

Naughty to post this because it is not my video. I might have to remove it. 

The folk ensemble when I was still just well enough to attend. A bit untogether, but I miss it. This is from a Cèilidh rehearsal, but which is me, and which is Mrs. D.? Playing a life Cèilidh can be hilarious, especially when people get mixed up, or seem not to know their right from their left: "Next, link your right arms ... no, not that right arm, your other right arm."

  1. It seems to happen so much more in your country that young people get involved in what might here be described as 'older persons stuff'.
    I hope you are on the better side now.

  3. I was looking for you both and picked out the two youngest performers there.
    It looks like a good time was being had by all.

  4. Thanks for sharing these videos. I imagine that you are the elegant fellow playing guitar - back left in a grey jumper with a tartan scarf. And I imagine that Mrs Cleopatra Dunham is the lady on the back row far left playing what I think is a mandolin. She is wearing a creamy white jumper. I like the disciplined sound the ceilidh band were making. They seem such a characterful lot - individuals working together.

  5. That looks like great fun and your group is doing a very good job! I don't know which ones are you and Mrs. D., tho.

  6. I found you, but I don't know that you've ever posted a picture of Mrs D. I can't be sure of that, but I am sure glad to see a post from you!

I welcome comments and hope to respond within a day or two, but my condition is making this increasingly difficult. Some days I might not look here at all. Also please note that comments on posts over 7 days old will not appear until they have been moderated.
