Folk for MS / White Horse Ceilidhs Charity Ceilidh Dance

FRIDAY 5th JUNE 2009 – OLD MILL HALL, GROVE

 

THE COMMITTEE BAND with caller NICK WALDEN

The Committee Band has been described as ‘a scene-stealing, headlining, barnstorming ceilidh band, a top choice for folk festivals all round the country’. The band's powerful sound is produced by a line-up of ten members who play instruments ranging from fiddles, recorders and melodeons to saxophones and Jew's Harp. With their roots firmly in English Country music the band also like to blend in the best of tunes from around the world, especially Scandinavia and Italy, and their arrangements contain elements of all sorts of popular and traditional music. Nick Walden is a highly respected caller who will explain every dance and ensure that no previous knowledge is required to have an excellent, enjoyable evening.

English Ceilidh, pronounced "Kay-lee", is an energetic form of Barn Dance or English Country Dancing; the dancing is infectious, great fun and a wonderful way to meet new people of all ages, get some exercise, laugh a lot and hear amazing LIVE music. This evening provides a great opportunity to get a group of friends together and treat yourselves to a night of first-class, lively entertainment whilst supporting a worthy cause.

The ceilidh starts at 8pm and ends at midnight. There will be a licensed bar with real ales from local breweries and a selection of rolls / sandwiches on sale.

Tickets cost £8 for adults & £4 for under 16’s

Review of the 2007 & 2008 FfMS / White Horse Ceilidhs

 

 

White Horse Ceilidhs run a series of dances in Grove Village Hall with the aim to bring new, young people into an already thriving local Folk scene. These events combine English Ceilidh (energetic barn dances) with performances from local bands and dance groups. Ceilidhs take place roughly every other month and have already attracted a lively, enthusiastic following. Click here to visit the White Horse Ceilidhs website for more information.
