Present on

FRIDAY 30th JANUARY 2009 – TIME OF YOUR LIFE

The regular monthly ceilidh season continues into its eighth year in the Ballroom at Hitchin Town Hall on Friday 30th JANUARY 2009 with Hitchin-based ceilidh band TIME OF YOUR LIFE. The band are highly regarded both locally and nationally and have been performing since 1984. Led by Barry Goodman (melodeon and calling), the band also features Debbie Chalmers (violin), Steve Poore (guitar), Graeme Meek (bass) and Howard Newton (drums).

Much of their material is traditional, but an increasing number of tunes they use were written by serial tunesmiths Graeme and Barry. Their style is firmly E-ceilidh, designed to make novice audiences feel relaxed and confident, whilst providing drive and energy to the music for the best dance experience. (www.lifeandtimes.info)

Our interval entertainment this month are Verulam Rapper. This St. Albans based rapper team was formed in 2006. They perform the traditional sword dances that originated in the mining villages of the Northumberland and Durham coalfields. The dances are performed at speed by a team of five people, continuously linked by flexible swords called rappers, which are weaved in and out of figures for display, forming intricate pattern and knots, and the occasional lost finger!
