Dear Friends and New
Subscribers.....
welcome to a new decade! It feels a little too
late to say Happy New Year - but there it is. We hope this year is full of
social dance and fun - and to start things off, there's a Burn's
Night Ceilidh this Saturday (see below) - join us for all the
proper ceremony.
Highlights for Cut A Shine in 2009 have been
many. Another long and enjoyable festival season - Glastonbury, Green Man,
Bestival spring to mind. A jam packed Solstice Dance
at Cargo in December - featuring a special Mass Morris with the Belles of
London City. And lastly, our top barn dance of 2009 was at the
Mumford and Sons Album Launch - in a real barn! What
a dust cloud. pictures here.
Other news, our sister
night, The Magpie's Nest Collective (who run folk and
roots music events) has won the "BBC Best Folk Club 2010 award". See
the bottom of this email for a list of top gigs featuring Cajun Music,
Folk Music, African Music, Bluegrass and all sorts..... see the website here.
that all for
now. :)
