30 Day Song Challenge | Day 9: Song You Can Dance To

Several Irish jigs and reels come to mind, as there’s just something about Irish music that makes me want to dance! (In fact, in my late teens, I was physically incapable of not dancing whenever I heard Irish music. It seemed to get in my blood....)

For today’s challenge, I’m going to choose “The Boat to Boffin”* as my “dancey” piece. I love its lively, upbeat feel, and the imagery it conjures up of life in a fishing village or near a shipyard. If they ever make a movie of Wild Rose (previously entitled The Pirate-hunter), I totally want this song for the scene where Tom &co. join the crew of the Good Ship Thorn. 😊

* Apologies for the quality of this video—it looks like part of a TV advertisement or something—but the sound was better than the one of this group’s actual concert.
