Southport Blush Thoughts

Well I have to say that the February Ceroc Southport (Blush) was great. Not the busiest event, but still great fun. Less people however can make for easier dancing, particularly in the main room. For those of you who do not go because of the potential for cold weather, well you missed a good one.

We all know that weekenders are a great place to meet up with people that you have not seen for a while and this event was no exception. And the opportunity for new acquaintance's, along with putting faces to names on Facebook etc.

I took a bit more time at this event to listen to the music in the pub. Some of it was a real disappointment with some DJs seemingly trying to out do each other for obscurity. When I sit in a room where I hear 5 or 6 tracks in a row I have never heard of I know its obscure. It was noticeable that the newer dancers spent more time sitting it out, But the playing of something more known often perked the room up. I am all in favour of new, but not always new. Well done the DJ that played "Black velvet".

This time I had the pleasure of doing Swingers Hour (and half) on the Saturday and as always the audience got into the spirit. Particularly the ladies with there fab spinny 50s dresses and lots of Bobby Sox. Its a great time for me, as I get to play something very different from the normal class and Freestyle nights.

Booking is open for May so perhaps I will see you there. Don't forget to come up and say hello.

See ya at a class or Freestyle soon.
