Belinda Thom and Cherly Ooten band
You remember Contra Capers band? This is Belinda on keyboard and Cheryl on keyboard, without Tom on banjo.Great music to dance your body.

James Hutson is a caller whose approach involves clear, concise walk-throughs, flexibility in teaching and programming, and working with the band to create that groove that dancers love.
