Subject: RE: English tunes session - good news
And it would have been even more wonderful to have had a bit of step dancing there, and maybe a jig doll or two at the session(s). Sadly 'step dancing' in most English pubs is now illegal; and jig dolls are rarely seen (they can only be 'danced' if the pub is licensed for live music - otherwise they too are illegal). Interestingly many sessions in pubs and bars in Eire always seem to be able to conjure up a step dancer (in the traditional style) or more, although jig dolls are even rarer seen over there.
