May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Reel Blast is an Irish Ceili dance band
– Rachel Shenin on Fiddle
– Shannon Darby on Fiddle

– Stephen Cooper on Bouzouki (Irish Bouzouki) & Guitar
Maureen Mulvey will call one Irish “Ceili Dance” in each of the band’s three sets. These are easy-to-do dances that everyone joins in and does together. Maureen is a long-time highly regarded teacher and caller for Irish dance.
The band will play Reels, Jigs and Polkas, all of which are good for dancing Polka and other things, plus Waltzes. On the two band breaks, Irish Country Jive music will be played.
Wearing green and Irish-themed things is encouraged, but optional.
La Plaza is a fully licensed bar & cocktail lounge run by friends of Swing Toronto. There’s a good vibe, large dance floor, and good things to eat.
