Carden Park

Another first for the Moody Food Ceili Band, this time to Carden Park in Cheshire for a Vertu Car Dealer Conference – the scrappage scheme obviously worked. We had a long wait from setting up to the first dance but the staff looked looked after us well with food and drink – pasta for the veggies and cottage pie for everyone else. The dance hall had a eerie indigo hue but it didn't stop everyone having a bit of a bop.

Collin finally came clean about the origins of the dance Nova Scotia which he had always claimed to have written whilst flying over Canada but, as Sue noticed last week, it is in fact the same as Sylvia's traditional simple longways set. Never believe anything Collin says.
