"You could imagine Dusty Bluebells as a period drama on the BBC...Angeline King brings a rich, cultural history to life in a family saga spanning 50 years...Pithy with Ulster Scots, old rhymes, cures and sayings, there is a sense of magic to it all. A book to warm your heart on a cold winter’s night."

Ruth McKee, The Irish Times

"Past haunts present across the generations. King gets inside her people...More Jessie Kesson than Kailyard."

​IRISH DANCING
Picture

​"As the first ever Festival-trained lead dancer of Riverdance, I am delighted to see this book..."
Lauren Smyth, former lead dancer, Riverdance.


"A wonderful historical record of dancing in Ulster. I have taught festival Irish dancing, Sean-nos dancing, set dancing and Cape Breton dancing, so this book helped me make sense of all the various styles that I've practised throughout the years."

Robert Hunter, dance teacher, County Antrim.

"Irish Dancing: The Festival Story is the book that fills the gap in the long and wonderful history of Irish Dance. Highlighting the unique way that the style not only kept alive the form and grace of the dance, but allowed a shared culture to thrive despite its community being, at times, torn apart."

Les Baird, Adjudicator, Spain.
