I would like to expand on and explain one of this year's events:-

Event 228 Monday Evening 7.30 – 11.00pm Metropole Ballroom SUSSEX EVENING.

•        This will be a dance with floor spots
•        The dances chosen will all have a strong Sussex connection – either re-worked from manuscript sources going back to the 18th century or modern dances made by callers with Sussex connections.
•        The band will consist of Will Duke (concertina), Gareth Kiddier (piano), Ben Paley (fiddle), Dan Quinn (melodeon), Matt Quinn (fiddle), Tina Smith (concertina), Vic Smith (caller, mandolo, guitar)
•        There will be five floor spots by the following performed acoustically in front of the stage:-
       > Spare Parts
       > Annie Winter
       > Rosie Davis Sussex step dancing to Will Duke plus songs from Will
       > Martyn Wyndham-Read, Iris Bishop, Joy Lewis, Derrick Hughes
       > Rattle On The Stovepipe.
•        A mighty grand finale is planned…. But you will have to be there to know what it is!
