Iain's band was invited to play at the Saitama Branch's 10th Anniversary Ball in 2010. Unfortunately, the visit had to be cancelled due to the dreadful effects of the tsunami which devastated Japan. However, the Saitama Branch produced their book of dances to celebrate their 10th Anniversary and Iain arranged the tunes (some Japanese, some his own, some traditional) and produced this CD. He included a Grand March and Auld Lang Syne so that Saitama Branch can have their Ball without a Band!! The book of the dances for the Branch's 10th Anniversary is available from TACBooks by going here: Saitama 10th
