Oxfolk Ceilidh with Jigfoot and caller Barry Goodman
Doors 7.30pm, dancing from 8 until 11pm.
We are delighted that the Hampshire band Jigfoot are joining us this month. The band approaches traditional dance tunes with energy, inventiveness and, above all, swing. They specialise in playing tunes from southern England and particularly their county. But most of all what they play is sublime to dance to. The band is: Cath Watkins and Ben Potton on fiddles, Gill Redmond on cello, Kim Sheil on melodeon and Nic Bradford on guitar.
Calling the dances is Barry Goodman, a well-known caller who has worked with many of the finest ceilidh bands in the country. He likes to make dancers feel relaxed and confident and his clear but laid-back style of teaching the dances has made him a popular choice at folk festivals and ceilidhs nationwide. Barry uses gender neutral, positional calls.
Interval entertainment is from the fantastic Molly No Mates, the drag king molly dance team from Bristol
There is a licensed bar with ale, cider, wine and soft drinks.
Saving the planet - Oxfolk is no longer serving drinks in disposable glasses so please bring along your own reusable glasses or purchase an Oxfolk one at the bar.
