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

Present on FRIDAY 25th MAY – LAUGHING GRAVY

Friday 25th MAY 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!

Led by the vastly experienced caller HUGH RIPPON, a full evening of reels, jigs, hornpipes and step-hop dances is guaranteed, with enough guidance to ensure that even the rawest beginner is not left on the sidelines.

Experienced dances need not worry either, for Hugh's choice of dances will delight and challenge all – his repertoire is honed and polished from years of experience of calling for dancers of all ages and abilities. You don't even need a partner!

Unicorn Ceilidhs take place generally on the last Friday of the month at Hitchin Town Hall, Brand Street, Hitchin, Herts

Doors open at 7.30 for an 8.00 p.m. start, with an 11.30 p.m. finish – entry is only £8.00 for adults and £4 for children under 14. Tickets are available at the door, or in advance from 01582 733113 / 724261
