"What a super night we had for my wife's birthday with friends which was made all the better by the addition of Chimera to the evening. What a lovely gentle group who couldn't have done more to fit in with our night and played lovely music which gave space to those chatting but was totally immersive when dancing Caleidhs...Annie is a great caller and was very patient with us all meaning everyone felt included. Thank you all..."
