FIRST HEARING:
A 'live' performance in Ballintuim Village Hall which is kinda rare in country dance recordings so more power to them for giving it a go. Apparently it was the hall's birthday! Any excuse, eh!
The sextet start in lively fashion and with a nice controlled sound and feel.
There are 20 tracks/dances in all but no reprise rounds.
Have a ball (as they say in Ballantuim!).
