Part of Oxford Folk Festival 2024
**A limited number of combined Saturday Balfolk Dance and Saturday Evening Ceilidh with the Dirty Big Canal Dance Band tickets available.**
Doug Eunson (melodeon) and Sarah Matthews (fiddle, viola) use their natural, expressive musicality to craft their arrangements with style and intuitive elegance. They play English and European dance music in outstanding instrumentals and beautifully flowing tune sets for balfolk dances like mazurka, bourrée, scottish, and gavotte de l’Aven.
“Doug Eunson & Sarah Matthews together produce a sound that is far too lush and full for only two people to produce.” Brad McEwen – Millrace Festival, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
Come to the free dance workshop with Balfolk Oxford at 13:30 - 15.15 if you want a beginners’ guide to these European style dances. https://app.tickettailor.com/events/oxfolkceilidhs/1162024
