and here are the other half. We three, "Gulliver" Don And Doug - the Mug - Chadwick, plus yours truly made up the last percentage. 110% this celidh band was !

We were rightly proud to be in such company.

Greg, we missed you and yet we didn't. Hope your ancle is getting better.

We'd sorted out a few tunes for some of the dances I was to teach in the back kitchen. Hoping we'd manage ok in no other musicians turned up. We needn't have worried. When you have bands like these behind you. Well instant success.

Erhard sorted out the German dances for the very eager crowd of dancers. They got up for everything. I even learnt two to take with me to the next meeting I have with the Swedish dancers I play with.

I really enjoyed my visit to Kiel and will surely be back. Hof Akkerboom is a great place.

I was a nice surprise to meet up with Rainer Schwarz again after 30 years. He even was encouraged me to sing "The German Clock Winder". To a crowd of Germans. Well ! Never thought I'd do that. Went down well though.

Susanne. You did us proud with your hospitality. All the sight seeing, Fjord trips and the eating places we visited were the best.

Don and Doug - "the Mug". Thanks for the sessions. Good one in the garden in the sunshine on Sunday. And to all the other mudcatters that were there. Hope we meet again.

Cheers - prost etc.

Chas
