Oxfolk Ceilidh with Take the Biscuit and caller Lisa Heywood
Sat 8 Oct 2022 7:30 PM - 11:00 PM BST
Kennington Village Centre, OX1 5PG
Description
Take The Biscuit features a veteran backline of Rob Gifford (Chalktown, Stomp) and Trevor Lines (Bonfire Radicals, MoltenAmba), joined Beth Gifford (Mrs Savage's Whim) and Nat Brookes (Capers and Japes), to create groovy, velvet tones. Impetuous drums and bass are layered with a bounty of self-penned tunes and cherry picked traditional gems played on accordion and viola or fiddle, with dynamic expression and lyrical phrasing.
Original material from each member of the band results in a plethora of self-penned tunes. Expect solid yet lyrical drums and alluring bass, layered with brooding, irascible viola and agile, bright accordion, each interacting with the others for a rich and varied texture.
Lisa Heywood is a folk dance caller known for her creative and enthusiastic style. She aims to make every dance as inclusive as possible and she has a varied repertoire of traditional and self-written dances.
