about

Our disco-ceilidh mashup with arrangements of two of our favourite tunes - Jackson's Reel and the Tap Room - over a backing inspired by Chic, Rappers Delight and Will Smith and featuring our own BCC rap by Gutsy Gal.

All profits to Beeston Oxjam so please give generously.

lyrics

We hail from Beeston, well that’s most of us
J & M are from the so called West Side
Our heartbeat he’s the only wildcard
From way, way out West
Where the drummers are the best

We’ve got Steve on the mic, you know what he’s like
He rocks the mic, he really rocks the mic
With his soft Southern patter, his instructions and his jokes
That he scatters through his well-practised narrative
We know the text, we know what’s coming next
We’re the Beeston Ceilidh Collective

We play for dance, D-D-D-D-dance,
That’s really not by chance, really not by chance
We make the space and we fill up the place
With the sound of our music we’ve been a choosin’, choosin’, choosin’

(c) Gutsy Gal
