Unicorn Ceilidhs present...
FRIDAY 26th JANUARY 2007 - FENDRAGON

Fendragon are a ceilidh band based in Cambridge, who play traditional English folk music, with some Irish, Scottish, French and American influences. They are a popular feature of the local ceilidh scene, and in demand further afield. Mary Humphreys (keyboards) and Anahata (melodeons) are both well-known, and here they have teamed up with Dave Holland (fiddle) and Gina Holland (flute), to create a versatile band that love playing for dances.

"Lovely stuff" according to Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3

The Caller for the evening is the young and effervescent Andrew Swaine, also from Cambridge. Andrew believes that ceilidh dancing '…is lively, accessible and unencumbered, a living tradition of community dancing for fun. Enjoyment is more important than accuracy'!   http://www.swaine.me.uk/

The interval entertainment this month is from the Brafront Guizers, who will perform their particularly off-beat but definitely seasonal Mummers Play at Hitchin! http://tdrg.group.shef.ac.uk/Gallery/Brafront2004.htm
