Regular readers will recall that, just over a year ago, I was official gig photographer at a “Big Jig” charity bash by the Jiggers ceilidh band in Glasgow.
Besides my challenge to photograph something other than buildings and mountains, Greg, Jigger-in-chief, also had a video taken. Sadly, however, the video was corrupted. But the good news was it means this YouTube video that Greg has just put up on his blog involves a montage of my photos instead of the film (apart from the last one – no idea who took that one). Bummer, eh?
Those photos mean quite a lot to me. It was just after I bought my Mac and therefore are the first batch I ever uploaded to it; it was a really fun night; and among the photos I took is one that is one of my very favourites.
The video aims to introduce the Strip the Willow – a dance which is fantastically good fun, but absolutely exhausting.
I’ll get to practice my Strip the Willow very soon, in fact, as my wedding is three weeks today…
I cannot wait to ceilidh it up in celebration! Cannot believe it’s a mere 3 weeks away! 🙂

Strip the willow is fantastically dangerous….
I have been asked on a couple of occasions how it works and have recommended the following videos…
#1 – How it should be done;
#2 – How it’s usually done;
🙂
Would take issue with the “how it should be done”, maddjock – should it not start with a spin for 16 not 8? Plus, the second one looks much more fun!
hmmm… spin 8 or 16… never usually in a fit state after the first 2 spins to think clearly…
