GUEST,Peter Laban	Playing at speed (82* d)	RE: Playing at speed	15 Feb 19
There was an episode of 'Sé Mo Laoch' dealing with Frankie Gavin on the tellie recently. In it he spoke about speed. He said 'why would you want to play it slow, it's dance music, for godsake'. A set danced at this speed wouldn't be anythign extraordinary, around here anyway: Aidan Vaughan (and the Mulcahys) : Clare battering steps Peter Hanrahan : Brushdance I don't think there a one rule to fit all dancing. One night we were playing for sets and Jackie Daly was complaining he had been up to Knocknagree. The young dancers there wanted the music so fast he had to play reels for the polka figures of the set.
