Bruce Wall Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Indeed, and especially as he is an extraordinary British dancer. I pray he might be able to come back and guest. Edited July 10, 2018 by Bruce Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 As he’s going back to SFB maybe he’s been made an offer he couldn’t refuse rather than any trouble at t’mill. I have no idea why he is moving on but best wishes to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
