Get In Line With Elma locations

Hi everyone, have had quite a busy time since you last heard from me.

I made a flying visit to the Thurso Country Music festival on the Saturday the 15th April and I was made very welcome, thank you. Everyone seemed to be having a good time when I arrived. The line dancers had their section of the floor extended this year, at least for the afternoon part of the show, which pleased the dancers a treat. At night time when the floor is a lot busier they are quite happy to have a smaller share.This festival is organised very well and the organisers go out of their way to help and make sure everyone is happy. Well Done.

I was invited down to Ann and Alan's at the Bilston Miners Club in Bilston on the 22nd of April for their All day festival. Graham and I arrived about 3pm so I had sadly missed Stateline and only heard a few tracks from Broadcaster. But I did hear Dave Montana and The Diesal Cowboys both were excellent.I always love going down to Ann and Alan's, because everyone is very friendly and warm. I do think Ann was a wee bit disappointed with the turn out, so next year there may be a slight change of times.they are thinking of having a mini festival from 4pm till 12mn instead of an all day event. The bands booked are The Bloodbrothers and Muddy Boots.

Thank you very much for the invite and I hope to be back again later on this year to see you all.

We had a great weekend at Keith again this year the bands excelled themselves. Billy Bubba King, Toe the Line, Vegas, Tennessee River and Brian Hughes and the Lonesharks were all very good. Club organisers they are all worth booking . This was the first time Vegas had been up in Aberdeen with me. They certainly never let me down. They were very, very good. I would recommend them to any club who likes country music and still have your dance floor full all the time. Brian Hughes and the Lonesharks were absolutely excellent. I had heard varied reports on this band, but they finished my weekend off with a bang. I hope to book them again in the very near future. Roz and Ron my Dj's worked very hard all weekend, as always, and to the girls that help me, a big thank you to everyone. Next year will be on the Friday 5th, 6th and 7th of May. Bands confirmed are Arizona flame, Brushwood, Gemma Fairweather, and The Diesal Cowboys. Promises to be another good weekend.

Looking forward to hearing Calico on Friday the 26th May ,I was sorry to hear Brian was no longer with them.Good luck Brian on what ever road you have taken.

Some dances I have been teaching lately are Crazy for Leaving, Drinks For 2, Try it, Walking Backwards, and Looking for Trouble.If anyone requires any step sheets please email me.

Wilma who teaches in Thurso choreographed a dance called ''Try It'' great little dance. Give it a go.

Great weekend at Coylumbridge,weather was freezing,but luckily we were warm inside the Hilton Hotel.I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that comes up to Aviemore and enjoys the weekend. Thank you also to Pete Harkness for his workshop and djing all weekend. Dave Montana,Calico and Plain Loco,you all put so much effort into your playing. I am going to list Petes dances and if anyone would like a sheet please email me This is the step sheet that Pete did not have with him at Aviemore.

Another Easter weekend at Keith has come to an end,and what a great weekend it was.
