And another thing...

I'm not sure what they've got against the tune for the "Rochdale Coconut Dance", other than it's a "humpty tumpty" tune and they seem to prefer "diddly diddly" ones. From the snippets I listened to on their website, the tunes they were playing appeared to be fairly bog-standard too, so I'm not sure why they're adopting such a superior position. It comes across as another example of their arrogant and condescending attitude.

I don't doubt their standards of musicianship, assuming the lineups they send out are of a similar quality. I don't doubt they'll give their clients a good performance and an enjoyable event, which is of course the main thing. As a musician in a ceilidh band, I don't mind the competition. I do dislike their dishonest advertising and their overall attitude.
