Ballads & 1st Dances
Many of these songs we have enjoyed performing as first dances; some songs we have only played once or twice and can revise for you, others have been played many times. Please don't hesitate to contact us for advice on your 1st dance ( if indeed you decide to have one, anything goes these days! ).
