Desert Island Disco: Dances with Fingers

Ashley Team Laverne

Assistant Producer

We love music we do. And we especially when it us move, groove, shimmy and shake. And that's what today's Desert Islander Disco-er is providing; listener Louise Jack from Dundee welcomes you to her party:

"Okay, generally speaking, I think any track that's danceable is a happy track and all of mine genuinely turn me into a grinning idiot whenever I hear them. I walk miles to and from work every day and love nothing more than cranking up the iPod and pounding the pavements and there are two things that all these tunes have in common: 1) they quicken my pace almost immediately (out of the way dawdlers!) and 2) they give me goose bumps the way that only pure joy can.

If I'm in the house, then that's when things get serious and the dancey hands come out. My Native American name would be 'Dances with Fingers'….probably.
