The answer is this …they fall on hard Advertising Sales Director times and in some cases it has serious implications for them and their families too. Chris Chew Every month in Linedancer we see pages of line dancers involved in fund raising activities [email protected] for various charities but we seldom see an event or fundraiser that is dedicated to supporting Creative Services Manager dancers in distress and the sad things is we have many of them. This is something I would Mike Rose like to change but I need your help to make it happen. I believe we should continue our work [email protected] supporting all the charities that we usually support but I am asking that we try to host at least Creative Services Team one event, hold one raffle or one fundraising activity once a year to support the work of the Ian McCabe, Dave Clement, Foundation. Amy Houghton & Emma Wightman Glenn Rogers was the first to support the charity by writing the song ‘We Are Dancers’ and Web Support donating all the money raised through sales to the Foundation.

11 Jeanscene waves goodbye to 2006 New Years Eve was certainly a jolly occasion for Jeanscene with a fabulous party. The club’s members got together to wave the old year goodbye and welcome the New Year in doing what they do best... Dancing! (And wearing fancy dress). Wendy Craven, dressed as Prince Charming (next to Cinderella), and the group even managed to have a Good Luck Fairy who granted everybody’s wishes. This left Grapevine wondering if it is too late to send our list in?

First steps towards the future

1st Steps Linedance Club recently celebrated their fi fth birthday at Tythe Farm, Rayners Lane. 1st Steps has come such a long way since its humble beginnings as a single Monday night class. Gradually it has grown, and there are now six classes, both day and night, beginner and intermediate, enjoyed by over 200 people weekly. They also have live gigs and monthly socials, which bring together all levels of dancers from the many different classes. In October 2003 Linedancer Magazine thought that the club would maybe be the future of Line dancing... Felicity Amswych says: “The birthday party was fantastic, and the hall was full of people ready to listen to Magill, laugh and dance the night away. Amongst the music and dances there was some Happy Birthday singing and a cake, baked by one of our dancers. The dancefloor was full until past 11 o’clock, and everyone had a wonderful time celebrating how far they had come, and toasting to a successful future.”

Peterborough Lines in a 10 year motion

Thank you to Enid Harrison who sent Grapevine this great snap of the Silver Liners in Peterborough. The club recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary and judging by the smiling faces, it has been an enjoyable decade. Linedancer certainly hopes that you all enjoy the next 10 years just as much. Well done girls and guys!

Angels, ice princesses and snowmen kept dancing all night long. A few dancers in sombre outfits even came as “black ice”. The evening culminated in a great quiz with top prizes given to the winners. The whole thing was actually covered by the local paper (Staffordshire Newsletter) and a great feature was published a week later. Line dancers are still heating up after all that fun and the hall has been booked again for Friday December 28, 2007.

Buckley have written a wonderful 32 count, four wall beginner/intermediate dance to it. It’s A Better World (81bpm) is also a track that clips along at a good pace and another fine dance prospect. Kings For A Day (125bpm) is another of Jake’s compositions and this is a great Country cha that showcases Jake’s smooth voice. Brilliant! You Got Away With Love (110bpm) again Jake’s vocal delivery is superb and the Dobro on the backing make this haunting number another highlight on this album. How Many Days (84/168bpm) this is another good solid two stepper and again it will make a wonderful dance track for both couples and line. That’s Why They Call It Cheatin’ (82bpm) is a beautiful Harley Allen song and it is a superb Country track, a delight to listen too, but why not dance to it too? My Heart Won’t Let You Leave My Mind (136bpm) is the last of Jake’s song writing contributions. This one is a good on which the musicianship is superb and it will make for a brilliant dance track. The closing track He Never Learned How (76bpm) is poignant cowboy song about an older rodeo rider that just didn’t know when to give up and eventually it cost him his life. Not sure of its merits as a dance track but a superb is a good two step and Anna Balaguer has Country song nonetheless.

I have to say that I was about everyone else’s at one time or another. This latest Keith’s last album Be Here sold over four million copies very disappointed in Hal’s last album The King of Love album from Willie was recorded with Ryan Adams (also in the US alone. Keith now releases a new album. coming after his previous superb release Lucky Man. the producer) and The Cardinals. We don’t seem to have We start with Once In A Lifetime (132bpm) which is Kicking off with One More Midnight (77bpm) you used much of Willie’s music in Line dancing, could that an awesome track and Phil Johnson hands us a phrased are instantly alerted to the rare qualities of this album. A be about to change? 64 count dance. cracking Country rocker, crying out for a dance. The first track Rainy Day Blues (110bpm) is a classy Shine (73bpm) is more upbeat than a typical night- Just This Side Of Heaven (121bpm) is a good blues number as the title suggests and Willie’s voice is club two step. This track highlights Keith’s ability to Country cha, a toe tapping song. as good as ever. You bet you can dance. produce infectious melodies. Travelin’ Teardrop Blues (97bpm) there are strong Many people only know Songbird (110bpm) as Eva I Told You So (106bpm) is a Country cha cha with a influences of Willie on this song. Hal plays a mean Cassidy’s song but it was originally done by Fleetwood Celtic sound. The banjo and the fiddle helps add to the harmonica on this delightful track which reminds me Mac on their classic album Rumours. Willie does it as a track and it would make a nice Line dance. somewhat of Past The Point Of Rescue. perfect cha cha. Someone please write a dance to it.

SWEET DREAMS The Story Of Patsy Cline

Released for the first time on Region 2 DVD (suitable for Europe) this excellent film retraces the life and times of Patsy Cline.

Patsy Cline's (Jessica Lange) first break came after an appearance on a national TV talent show in the USA during the late Fifties. She met Charlie Dick (Ed Harris) a self confident printer who became her second husband. However soon, his infidelities, jealousy and drunken violence started to dominate the marriage. A series of tragedies for the singer culminated in a road accident in 1961. After a lengthy convalescence, Patsy hired a new manager and her career hit the big time again, winning national awards in 1961 and 1962. She died in a plane crash in 1963.

This is a life and a story that could have easily been filmed as some kind of soap opera but in the hands of Karel Reisz (Saturday Night And Sunday Morning, French Lieutenant Woman), the film is powerful and riveting, exploring the life of one of the most well known singing icons of the Twentieth century.

Pulling no punches, Jessica Lange and Ed Harris give power house performances in demanding roles. It is to their credit, that as a viewer you feel deeply involved and totally understanding of both characters, she with the dreams of her “big house with roses” and he with the violent character that he tries so desperately to shake off. You do understand the love between those two ill matched people and the script is never condescending or simplistic.

Of course the music plays a huge role in the film. She’s Got You, Competition Walking After Midnight and Crazy are some of the hits we get to hear Win a copy of Sweet Dreams.

Reaching out to Line dancers what should they expect from the show? “I think they should bring their dancing shoes. If they have room then please dance. I would love it if they did. I love it when people get up and dance, it really elevates the energy in a room. And lastly: “I just want to say come out and enjoy the show.” Competition

Charlie does the daffodil dance

Top Country and folk singer Charlie Landsborough is set to help publicise Marie Curie Cancer Care’s national Line dancing fund raising drive this spring. Charlie will be the public face of the Do the Daffodil Dance campaign – and the charity’s specially-choreographed daffodil dance – Someone – will be performed to his song Someone is Looking for Someone Like You. Charlie said: “I’m highly honoured. I’ve been into a few Marie Curie hospices as a guest – I’ve visited fans who were patients. The staff treated them with such kindness – I was very taken with that. I think the people who treat the patients are marvellous, and my experiences of Marie Curie Cancer Care have been nothing but excellent.” Charlie has released 11 albums, most of which have topped the UK Country charts. He has had three number one hits in the Irish pop charts. “They’ve used quite a few of my songs for Line dances,” he said. “You’d expect the up-tempo songs to be used, but they dance to the slower stuff as well.” However, Charlie will not be joining in on the dancefloor. “I can’t dance to save my life,” he said. For more details visit www.mariecurie.org.uk/linedance or phone 0800 716 146. (Someone is published this month).

Party time with Magill

A thoughtful Line dance instructor Leni Spaven gathered everyone together on the dancefloor for two reasons. First and foremost it was her daughter Helen’s 18th birthday and secondly it was time for the club’s autumn social. Every year The Sneaky Moon Country and Line dance club hosts a great live night and in 2006 they were supported by Magill. Leni originally lived on the charming islands of the Philippines. Today she lives in the UK and through Line dance raises money and awareness for the Red Cross. The evening total of £525 will go towards helping the Sunday School in Pulilan, Bulacan, which is Leni’s home town. It was a fun evening thanks to the efforts of everyone. These photos prove just how much they all had, Leni said: “Helen and I were grateful to everyone.”
