Thread Name: Chester UK. Have a go at Maypole dancing
Subject: RE: Chester UK. Have a go at Maypole dancing
I've just posted this on http://have-a-go-dancesession.blogspot.co.uk/

There is an article in http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/chester-news/local-chester-news/2013/07/25/lor about the event.

The Street entertainers will be on first at 12.30. Come and enjoy the spectacle

then on the Northgate stage, near the walls :
1 -1.30 Black Cat Band (folk songs)
1.30- 2.00 Black Cat band play for adult Maypole dancing*
2.00-2.30 Mystery Band (singer songwriters**)
2.30 -3.00 Frank will lead the musicians*** for family Maypole dancing
3.00 - 3.30 Mystery Band**
Fingers crossed for fine weather. If 'rain stops play' we may be running late and the rest will merge flexibly till they move us to let the cars in
3.30 - 4.30 'Foreign exchange' Frank will lead musicians*** for Maypole dancing and http://www.rondezvous.co.uk/ French dance tunes.
4.30 -5.30 Musicians session on and around the stage


* Although this will be advertised as adult Maypole I would not expect anyone to leave a young child alone in the crowd. Share your ribbon, or let them stand in the middle as one of our mascots.

** The event organisers are providing these bands, so I will be surprised too.

*** Musicians could you please meet me and Frank before these spots (say 2.20 and 3.20) to agree a set list. If anyone wants the latest Rondez Vous? tune-book contact me

Say hello to me when you arrive. I'll be around from 11.30 and hard to miss in a black and orange flowery waistcoat."
