All at Old Hall Junior School unless indicated otherwise;
from 7.00 - 9.00pm. (On the "third Thursday" of each month we meet in The Peacock on Chatsworth Road - only a couple of hundred yards from Old Hall Junior School.)
We play folk dance music from across Europe in a relaxed atmosphere. Music is provided for those who want to "look at the dots." (Bring a music stand if you want; don't worry if you can't.)
We hope to capture the easy-going nature of a pub session but with just the necessary structure to allow all players to join in with confidence.
There are some performances arranged but these are not compulsory!! However, anyone who comes along to the sessions is very welcome to play at any of the events listed. Just let me know if you're interested - bcband@hotmail.co.uk.
