Dancing 8 til 11pm
Bal £7.50 with Jeudi Matin, The Famous Interval Musicians and two spots from QQ
In a change to our previously advertised programme, we thank QQ for stepping in as our Belgian guests are now unable to come over.
QQ members have played together in various ensembles for many years, and this combination has an exciting set list across the whole French bal folk repertoire, some tunes originally researched by Mel in the 1980s!
Great rhythms, lovely harmonies, fab dances!
There's no workshop in May so if you'd like to join us in a communal meal before the Bal,
come to the Hall at 6.30
and bring some French supper to share with others, not forgetting your own plate & cutlery, drink & a glass
- tea & coffee available -
