Description
Sandy Nixon & His Scottish Dance Band play reels, jigs, strathspeys, a hornpipe and a medley: favourite Scottish Country dances to first-rate tunes. Sandy's interest in new and less frequently played tunes fires the 5-piece band's enthusiasm for arrangement and interpretations; the tunes, rhythms and syncopations fire the dancers; the dancers inspire the band - and an evening of dancing with Sandy brings musicians and dancers to a state of mutually inflammatory exuberance!
