    That surprising worked quite well. If you want to lure belly dancers just start playing a hand drum in any public place. Its like sponteaneous creation. If you drum, they will turn-up - unannounced and uninvited....lol. I play drums in parks and at school fetes and without fail they turn up.  If you think I'm making it up Check it out here

    The only thing that would have made this better is if the girls all had played Cigar Box Guitars while they danced ;)

    Well...it was part of my vision when we set up HGMC to widen the scope of what we do...just trying to put it into practice.

    ...and although I had the opportunity, I refrained from introducing them by clapping my hands and declaiming "Bring on the Dancing Girls!!!"

    Well..I have spoken to Andy about making him a Turkish Delight Box Saz Baglama, and his musical influences are very wide - ranging..so I was really pleased that he managed to fit this event into his busy schedule. After all, this movement is all about no rules, no boundaries and having fun.

    Listen carefully and you can just about hear Redd falling off his chair....

    Many thanks to Andy and the girls for doing this, hopefully we will see them again :o)
