The Dirty Big Canal Dance Band - the Oxford ceilidh super group, drawing on members of Owl Light Trio and Xogara. Their soaring melodies are underpinned by funky rhythms. This is one classy party band! The line up is: Jane Griffiths - fiddle (Owl Light Trio), Jo Hamilton - sax, flute and bagpipes (Xogara), Jon Fletcher - mandolin, harmonica and banjo (Magpie Lane, Oxford Waites), Colin Fletcher - bass (Owl Light Trio, Tim Van Eyken) and John Ruddock (Xogara, Guerrilla Ceilidh, Rholben, Starling Sessions). 

Mary Panton is a highly respected and busy caller, and much in demand too. She has a lovely, relaxed and easy manner and above all she makes sure everyone has a great time!  Non-gendered calls will be used. 

The wonderful Eynsham Morris will perform during the interval.
