I honestly couldn't say. Perhaps its coincidental that our session is run by members of a ceilidh band (which includes myself), and that many of the participants are also part of other local bands playing for both dancing and listening.

I ought to add, in all fairness, that our sessions are punctuated with stuff from the likes of Jimmie Rodgers and Fats Waller! We have musicians who combine a love of traditional music with a love of, and ability to play, country, jazz and swing. What really moves me is when the whole complement of players is joining in as one - doesn't matter what's being played as long as we're drawing people in to the music.

There are also several Morris teams where we are. I watch them occasionally, as friends of mine are dancers, but I confess that I don't have a particular interest in following it or participating in it.
