The wonders of modern technology means that the fairly full sound here is - Derek Hamilton.
And his machines of course.
However that also means that the tempo is pretty spot-on and that's what dancers like, that and a bit of bounce; and that's not too bad either.
When you consider that the tunes are all fairly popular favourites then this might just be winner in many quarters.
