This month - Melobo with caller Alison Rowley. St Albans Morris dance at the interval.
Melobo are a three-piece band led by melodeon and oboe (hence Melobo) with bass guitar. They play excellent, tight tunes from all over the UK and sometimes even from outside these shores - and always with arrangements to get your toes tapping and your feet moving onto the dance floor. Not to be missed! www.melobo.co.uk
Alison is a highly experienced ceilidh caller, known for delivering calm and clear instructions with patience and humour. She has called at countless public and private events over the last 16 years.
It's a barn dance - or is it a ceilidh? And what's that? A ceilidh (say kayley) is your chance to dance English traditional country dances with others. The caller describes all the moves (very simple) and the dancers walk through the whole dance once - then the band starts - and a great time is had by all ! Dance as vigorously or as sedately as you wish - and don't worry if you get it wrong. Most dances are for couples, but singles and groups are welcome. There's a break about 9.15 when we organise a dance display - generally Morris or similar - to entertain you, and a Raffle.
