Happy birthday to Christine, our sax player who has danced with Glory of the West for many years. We performed at her birthday party today at West Town Farm, Ide where Christine runs Organic Arts . The audience were fabulous and did some excellent joining in. We also enjoyed entertainment from Red Shed Ceilidh Band and Exeter Street Band , both of whom Christine plays for, so it was a busy party for Christine! 🎉![]()
