Just been listening to the clips of Macumba, they sound wild (in a good way). The drums would work very well in a circle dance I would think.

There is a line dance to the Afrocelts tune 'Whirl-Y-Reel' I've never done it but it's a great tune to dance to anyway, the steps are here,

kate begley, I love Headmix Collective (latterly Headmix) I thought they had faded away are they still going? I first aeen them at the launch of Simon Emmersons 'Celtic Soundclash' cd along with another (sadly gone) band called Celtica, also very good.

They've gone back to being called the Afro Celt Sound System again on the new cd 'Anatomic' though they still have the drummer and bass guitarist as guests. As always the guests are very good, Eileen Ivers is on fiddle and an extremely good addition IMO. Nigel Eaton with hurdy-gurdy features too.

Shame no tour is planned, I last saw them at Celtic Connections 2004 and they took the roof off.
