Alan and Ann got together with their good friends Josie and Gregg to present Maggie G to the people of Bolton. Despite having to be at Stanstead Airport by 2.30am, Maggie was jetting off to Sweden the following day, she put on a fabulous show. Maggie taught four dances including Firedance and her new Cha Cha, Knock Yourself Out, to a Toby Keith track of the same name from his album Honkytonk University. She also gave her Line dance fans a display of Irish dancing. The night seemed like the hottest night in history, everyone leaking buckets, but Maggie looked on the bright side and pointed out all the weight everyone was losing. Maggie did her rounds stopping to talk and have photos taken with the dancers. She is pictured with Sue (right) who travelled from Stoke for the night. Sue never misses an opportunity to see Maggie. Josie and Gregg are retiring to France in September, maybe they'll open a class there.

The Linedancer message board is something of a treasure trove with just about every subject under the sun – including Line dancing being discussed.

Recently, members have been discussing how on earth we remember all the dances, here’s how the debate developed. Names have been withheld.

“I do think learning new dances is like a conveyor belt – the new good dances come in at one end – the older ones fall off the other end.” Jan and Glen from Shy-Anne's class in Jan and Glen attended classes at FireBirds “My memory isn’t all its cracked Winsford and also Dave the Rave's in Crewe in Newton Abbot, Jackie's Rhinestone Rebels up to be.

“I usually end up reading through step sheets and doing the steps with my hands.”

“I think age has a lot to do with it for me – although I am not that old.”

“For quite a few years I have gone upstairs only to stand on the landing and think – what have I come up here for – I then have Val Self and the team outdid themselves by and plaque which was placed in the garden to retrace my steps to remember organising a terrific weekend for the Peace area at Pakefield and will be enjoyed by many – doh!” Train Passengers.

Men In Black These boys are the real Men In Black and you won’t find a diamante belt between them. They are (from left to right) Alan Davie,Paul Bailey,Mike Moran and Maurice Rourke. The Men In Black were part of the Edinburgh Phoenix Linedancers and were seen on a Kings Hill holiday in Carlisle. Moira Davie said: “As is usually the case with Kings Hill, we had a great weekend. The entertainers were Gemma Fairweather on the Friday and the ever popular Paul Bailey on the Saturday. The dance leader was Pete Harkness and we enjoyed the dances he taught, especially Radio to the Shakin’ Stevens song of the same name. We find the dance very useful for other music too. “We like going to various venues across the country which lets us see what other dances are being done. The Kings Hill weekends are really good value and we look forward to seeing people we have met before at other places. As well as more holidays this year, our diaries already have dates for 2006 weekends.” 17 The South Will Rise Again

fell in love when I was a little girl, like so many others, with a man who continues to consistently knock out fabulous good ole rock and roll music. He’s a legend with his sneakers still fi rmly stuck to the fl oor, except when he’s attempting to dance across it. Cliff Richard’s fi rst studio album in three years, has just been released – Something’s Goin' On. And there is, a lot going on. Line dancers Linda Willis takeI heed.

Last year Cliff opened his fi rst hotel, in Manchester, The Arora International with fi ve of the 141 bedrooms specifically themed featuring artwork and memorabilia from Cliff’s personal collection, Summer Holiday, Congratulations, Dreaming, Move It, and Heathcliff. He’s also launched his own brand of perfume with names like Miss You Nights. And the carmine pink Cliff Richard rose has been available for some time.

His talents seem endless. Well, almost. But, dedicated Cliff fan that I am even I have to admit there is still something at which he is still pretty useless. Dancing.

Maybe he will stick to what he did whilst appearing with Paul O’Grady. Teaching everyone how to do The Shadows dance. One step forward, one step back. Now, for my money that was line dancing at it’s most basic. And Cliff at his dancing best. And if, like me, you fell in love a long time ago, you’ll forgive him!

But their love for the Line dancing scene is reflected in their new song, King of the Rodeo, which has divided critics and fans of the band right down the middle.

But, as lead guitarist Matthew, 20, the most enthusiastic dancer of the group, recently told fans: "You can't beat Line dancing. I think there is no other kind of dancing that can touch it."

The video for the track was fi lmed at the Dance N’Style club in Rockaway, New Jersey. The club, which is unashamedly boots and roots has become a mecca for old- style Line dancing and a favourite for TV companies.

The video, directed by Patrick Daughters, begins with the band wandering onto a stage at a Line dance competition and launching into their looping, stripped-down groove.

Excluded from real love. “Why – I still can’t tell my heart why I’m still alone”. The quiet despair of loving a man who goes back home to someone else each time. Tift’s songs are women’s songs which men can relate to. Filled with clarity. Easy on the ear and eye she performs on stage with all the laid back wisdom of a restless goddess.

The intensity is at times almost throwaway – but never careless – never contrived. Even when she starts to sing in the wrong key it doesn’t phase her. She just gives us one of her dazzling fi lm-star bright smiles, easy laughs, and retunes her guitar. Then carries on singing, as if nothing had happened which she hadn’t counted on.

She plays keyboard which sounded great. But for those of us who are not six foot tall, as many of the men standing in front of and beside me were, and I’m on the upper end of ‘petite’ it was a pity to miss so much even though I was standing on my tiptoes in my cowboy boots.

Changing position to one nearer the stairs gave me a much better view of Tift up close and personal, and a welcome draught of fresh air blowing ever so slightly from the open door at the top. No one could complain about Tift’s performance at the Borderline, but maybe next time she comes over, with her own band with whom she insists, “You won’t hear an acoustic guitar once that lot get rocking!” Perhaps she will be allocated a much larger venue, to keep her new-found fans happy and to be fair to her, as an artiste.

Many of us were concentrating so hard on not disgracing ourselves by passing out with the heat and lack of space we were almost in danger of passing over Tift Merritt. But she is too much of a trouper to 37 Grooving in the garden

So what was the secret? ear and it appeals to the majority. good chance they would know the dances Excellent choreography to a wonderful piece being called.

Kittens get a new puppy We recently visited the newly formed Wrekin Ranch Country and Western club in Donnington, Telford. The club is rapidly growing in numbers, so much so the club founders, Alan and Barb Heighway have already had to relocate to a larger venue for their events and socials. The photograph shows Ashton, their Grandson, who is quite literally growing up on the Country scene. I remember watching him at age three or four performing, with Vigour, Beethoven’s Boogie. This time he turned his talents to joining the Country Kittens on stage to sing his favourite song – Mr Mom. The Kittens were delighted when he asked to be in the band. Seeing Ashton joining in was a lovely touch to a super evening. The girls provided two sets and four encores keeping dancers dancing and others singing along, before the club brought the evening to an end with their customary trilogy. As the Kittens said on stage during the evening it is great to see a club opening and not falling at the wayside as many unfortunately are doing. Please support your local Line dance classes and Western clubs – entertainment and evenings such as this need us all to take part. Well done Alan and Barb, and watch out, as the Kittens may be adopting a puppy.

77 Malta magic Remarkable dancer and friend I would just like to comment on a remarkable lady, Brenda Scott, who was mentioned in June Linedancer. Brenda is our teacher at the Blues and Greys Line dance club in Billingham – we would like to thank her for her dedication and patience. She always makes learning fun and the atmosphere at her classes is relaxed – we sometimes struggle to dance for laughing. She never rushes in teaching the dances before she puts the music on. She makes sure we are comfortable with the dance and never loses her patience. She will walk us through as many times as we feel necessary and I would just like to let her know how grateful we are. This is a photograph of all our Line dancing friends taken at a Country and Western Brenda works so hard and has given me the evening when we were on holiday at St Pauls Bay in Malta. We met up with so many old confidence to keep on Line dancing. I would friends from England and Malta and made new ones too. like to say thank you for the encouragement They are such a happy crowd over there and they are keeping up to date with all the not to give in and the kindness she has shown dances.

We recently attended a beginner workshop with Barry and Dari Ann Amato in Blackpool. The event was organised by Jean from Fancy Feet Line dancers in Blackpool. It was a fantastic afternoon and our beginner dancers were asking us for more of the same. I would like to thank Jean and Barry and Dari Ann for making it such a wonderful afternoon and making us feel so welcome. Jean is going to be getting married in July and we would like to congratulate her and wish her luck for the future. Victoria Britlin and Alex Macdonald, Harley Dee Line dance club, Chester

Anyone can Line dance Echoing through my mind was should I go ahead and take the big plunge and join a regular team of Line dancers – and of course I did. Eight or nine years ago I joined the Line dancing class at William of York Church Hall, Crosby. I went along when I knew nobody – I can remember that first night so clearly – I did every dance without a clue of what to do except follow Gill’s footsteps. I think everyone was taken aback that I tried so hard to keep up with the others. During the break instructor Gill came over to talk to me and made me feel welcome. To begin with I thought how would I cope doing all the different steps. I have a slight disfigurement in my right leg, a hearing problem and am visually impaired. But nothing can stop me from making an effort and who cares if I go wrong. Over the years I have learned thousands of dances and owe a big thank you to Gill for her patience and understanding. Myself, Val Vella and three of my dancers, Margaret, Val and Jean, Also I want to thank all the Western Boots group and for all their from Easy Strollers Line dance club in Clevedon enjoy teaching kindness, help and friendship. a group of people who attend a Stroke Rehabilitation Centre in I can honestly say I really enjoy going along each Thursday evening.

I choreographed very simple movements to of new members. music about the speed of Black Velvet which they can cope with. So the voice in my head made the right decision to go along. The centre is run by volunteers who take over where the NHS leave One little echo made all the difference and gave me a wonderful off and they help encourage those who have suffered a stroke back challenge. I am a rubella sufferer and I took on a new experience and to an active life. Being able to move to music again is something they it was very worthwhile. If there is a will there is a way to over come love and it shows that Line dancing can truly be done by all. any challenge.

I’m awake before the alarm goes off at 6am. I never lie in and snooze – I leave that to Ann. The day starts quietly – no radio, no TV, no noise. Breakfast consists of a quick coffee.
