Performance wise We played a st Patricks gig in a local big enough for Eighty people and there were over 150 in there dancing and singing on the chairs tables and even the Bar, I couldn't speak for three days.

But the most moving was a concert I organised during the folk festival for as many of the handicapped people of Guernsey as we could fit in the Hall. the main act was a Cajun Band and everyone was dancing in their own way. except one young lad I dont know a name for his diability but he had NO co-ordination and he was crying with frustration because he knew what was happening. Anyway I'm a big strong lad so I locked wrists with him and forced him to a simple step slide stamp step slide stamp, after about five minutes of this he suddenly realised that he was actually doing it himself and he smiled at me. you have to see a smile like that to understand but I can still see it now.
