Coracree is such a band! They instinctively reach the dancers with their tune choices, skill, creativity, and sense of fun. I have had a great time calling with this band, and recommend them highly. ---- Linda Leslie Contra Dance Caller (Massachussetts) For more information and booking contact Jane Rothfield • 518-522-7445
