Folk Group Term 40

Welcome back for a new term! We’ve been asked to do a performance for “That Spring Thing” on May 26th at More Music and we still have a booking at the New Hutton Institute on 30th November.(No we don’t!)… But Janet (fiddle and bagpipe player) has asked if we could do a ceilidh for the Forton School PTA on the 5th July?

If anyone would like to recommend us for more then please let me know and we’ll try to make it happen 🙂

A couple of great Scandinavian tunes tonight – a Sønderhoning (probably) from Denmark and a Polska from Sweden. Very similar dances, but with some important differences.

Obviously not the same tune, but gives a good view of the dance!

Here are a couple of great welsh tunes I learned from my father as a teen :). He learned them whilst living in Aberystwyth (I think).
