"Clog Dance"

Clog Dance was the first single released by Violinski, and became their only charting single. It was written by band member John Marcangelo, inspired by a shop in his town called Brew's which sold clogs.

Having became a favourite amongst various brass bands, it was used in the film Brassed Off. It reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart and also became a big hit in The Netherlands.

"Clog Dance" appeared on various compilation albums, including "Friends & Relatives" and "Clog Dance: The Very Best of Violinski", the latter including an alternative 'rock' version.
