Valley Jive at Machen Show 2025.

The drizzle in the middle of a heatwave didn't put people off. The sun certainly shone on the dancers in our marque.

Big thanks

- Sarah and Tricky Dickie for the pictures and videos
- Everyone who helped out before during and after
- Dancers for keeping the floor warm
- Everyone who supported
- Livestock Davies & the Lowdown Snakes for playing a great set as usual
- Machen Show committee for inviting us
- Everyone who I've forgotten..!

I was too busy slappin' the bass to get any pictures.

We hope to do it again next year..!

The Kingsnakes had to pull out at the last minute which will be a disappointment to many but Dai has been able to pull a great band out of the hat. The Buzzcuts are a fantastic family band and I'm sure that they will put on a great show

Valley Jive can't make it to this one but we be back on the decks in November (I think)
