Legs did not dance to Sister

Legs did not dance to Sister Sledge on the 29/3, although 29/3 was the show in which the four ladies joined Racey on stage - the 12/4 stage invasion being a repeat of the VT.

On 5/4 I think we just had the swinging sultans, all that body shaking being reserved until a fortnight later.

on 5th Apr the girls are not

on 5th Apr the girls are not dancing to "Shake your Body" as I have just watched the show and see its a showing of the Jacksons.

According to the book the girls danced to Sister Sledge and I haven't seen this full show so as to or not I can't say.

Andy Legs never danced to "He's the Greatest Dancer" sadly (speaking as one who got hold of the Show hoping for the opposite result as databases like Popscene initially predicted). The rest of the Dances on the listing above are correct for March/April. 5th April is indeed Sultans of Swing only and 19th April is Shake Your Body. Without wanting to make SueFan blush his "Legs List" on OFTDs is as close to 100% correct as humanly possible I believe for Legs routines. The Book is wrong on this one.

Thanks for those kind words

Thanks for those kind words Rusty. Just feel I should add that while my name is on the cover the Legs Lists could not have been done without the assistance of several other fans including Kace, Dave, Dugsy, your good self and of course Jez. Which begs the question what has happened to old Jez or indeed most of the heavy hitters around here in recent weeks?
