UNICORN CEILIDHS
-HIGH ENERGY PUBLIC CEILIDHS FOR DISCERNING DANCERS OF ALL AGES-

Present on

FRIDAY 30th MARCH – LAUGHING GRAVY

Friday 30th MARCH is the date for your diary if you like a good dance! The monthly ceilidh season continues at Hitchin Town Hall with North Hertfordshire's favourite Ceilidh Band LAUGHING GRAVY, who return full of energy and enthusiasm, to offer the very best of English acoustic dance music to the renowned Unicorn Ceilidhs. Based on years of experience, the band's style is firmly rooted in the English tradition, but draws its influences from far and wide. French, Scottish, Welsh and American roots are explored in an eclectic repertoire that gives energy to the dancers, and leads them into the figures and forms of the dances. Featuring fiddle, accordion, melodeon, rhythm guitar and bass, the arrangements combine to keep the dancers dancing all evening, whether experienced or beginner!

Caller for the evening is the widely regarded FEE LOCK. Fee comes from the South Coast, but she is a nationally known and respected caller at clubs, ceilidhs and festivals all over the country, with a superb ability to get you up and dancing!

The interval entertainment this month is from Stevenage Sword – a Rapper team performing the intricate traditional dances of the north-east of England. (tbc)
