Heave Away - The Fables
The original classic, choreographed in 1999!
The Fables are a new Celtic group from Newfoundland, Canada. Heave Away can be found on their CD or on the compilation CD titled Ceilidh Collection
Heave Away is dedicated to all the dancers I've taught and danced with from my home province of Newfoundland, Canada - from Port aux Basques all the way to Shea Heights! You keep me focused on the fun and always provide a little taste of home when we're together. It's right some special to be plankin' 'er down wit' ya! CHEERS!
