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!
