Bees a-Swarmen!

Traditional Music and Song
with Tim Laycock and Colin Thompson

A country garland of dance tunes and folksongs collected in Dorset, played on fiddle, viola, guitar, concertina and melodeon. Readings from William Barnes, Thomas Hardy and other Dorset writers.

Tim Laycock and Colin Thompson are both renowned performers of Dorset traditional music. Drawing on their extensive repertoire, they present an informal evening of folksongs collected in Dorset by Henry and Robert Hammond, dance tunes from the Hardy collection and Benjamin Rose of Belchalwell. Interspersed with readings and local poetry, the evening is a celebration of country life and the natural history of the county.

The concert is to raise money towards the building and equipping of a new "Honey Bee Centre" and apiary at Holloway Farm.  Tickets are £12 each.
