'The three fast numbers weren't for moving.'

Sean explains how the 'slow set' worked, and what was done with a handbag.

"I'm going to play a wee slow set now," Sean says. "Let me just explain to the girls, that's what they used to do years ago in the showband era. They would play three fast numbers. The three fast numbers weren't for, you know, 'moving'. You know what I mean? Chatting up. Asking could you leave her home. The fast ones were for breaking the ice. You would jive, or you would just shake your handbag around, whatever you would do, you know? Wiggle your backside. Then when the slow set came on you would grab the girl, and the rest is your own business."

With music from The Searchers, The Byrds, The Tremeloes, and more.
