This   dance   was   devised   for   Chrissie   Osborne   for   her   70 th    birthday   -   for   which   she   held   a   magnificent   Party   Dance with   music   by   a   six-piece   Nicol   McLaren   &   the   Glencraig   Band. A   wonderful   occasion   befitting   a   wonderful   lady   - and over £1200 was raised for Cancer UK. The   recording   for   this   dance   by   Marian   Anderson’s   Band   includes   Jim   Anderson’s   Delight   -   one   of   Chrissie’s favourite tunes.
