Welcome to The Sunday Class Shop
This album showcases the very best of Robert Burns’ songs and is essential for those who appreciate the art
of Scotland’s national bard. Scottish Dancers will truly enjoy fourteen rousing medleys of Burns’ melodies
superbly arranged for dancing.
The CD opens with The Star o’ Rabbie Burns before Marian (Lead Accordion), Graham Bell (2nd Accordion),
Max Ketchin (Drums) and Isobelle Hodgson (Piano) play 4 Jigs, 5 Reels, 3 Strathspeys and a Waltz.
Released at the same time as The Sunday Class Book 1 CD, but quite different, reflecting its Australian origins,
and another excellent show-piece of Marian's talent!
Keith Smith and his fiddle join Marian and her usual line-up of Graham Bell (2
nd
accordion), Issy Hodgson (Piano
& Bass) and Max Ketchin (Drums) to play some excellent tune sets. There are no less than 12 original tunes by
Marian Anderson and two of Keith Smith's, plus an impressive array from other composers.
Instructions for the 10 new dances are contained in the CD Booklet.

The new CD from the talented Dewhurst family band - Chris & Julie on accordion with son Nick on drums.
As with their first CD (Crossing Borders), many tracks are for use when ‘any good tune’ is required but there
are four tracks for well-known dances and four for dances by Gillian Jennings (instructions available on
request). With no less than 22 tunes composed by Chris himself, this CD of 14 tracks should cover every
occasion!

Crossing Borders was the first Scottish Country Dancing CD from the Dewhurst family band who had ‘plied
their trade’ on the English Folk & Dance scene for many years before ‘crossing the border’ into Scottish
dancing - where many of the tunes were familiar but the tempo and style is much more defined.
This 14 track CD reflects the different influences in their music - Scottish, Irish, American & Canadian tunes
are mixed with traditional ones and a good proportion of their own compositions. The Band have a very
recognisable sound and this CD is an absolute ‘must have’ for class teachers as all tracks are for use when ‘any
good tune’ is required.
Laird Brown (son of Bobby), Donny Wood, Warren Beesley & Rob Wolanski who all played with Bobby Brown &
the Scottish Accent, have now been joined by Stefanie Hutka to form Scotch Mist. On this debut CD, ‘Kerry D.
Boax’ plays 2
nd
accordion.
To complement this showcase of Canadian Scottish Country Dance music, the 13 dances accompanying this
recording come from far and wide across Canada from a variety of teachers, and full instructions are included
in the CD booklet, making it excellent value for money.
