Friday 31st MARCH is the date for your diary if you like a good dance! The monthly ceilidh season continues at Hitchin Town Hall with arguably the UK's favourite dance band, PEEPING TOM, who continue to bridge the imaginary gap between the 'serious' traditional dancers and the more lively Ceilidh devotees. The band has a hectic schedule of appearances at dances and festivals all over the United Kingdom, and they will be celebrating thirty-five years of music making in 2007.

Peeping Tom is led by BEN WOODWARD (melodeon and guitar), supported by MATT JOHNSON (drums), JOHN McINTOSH (bass guitar), IAN WILSON (keyboards and cittern) and PETE SMALE (guitar and mandolin).

'… the Status Quo of ceilidh bands! Hugely popular…' Stirrings
'…The best dance band I have ever had the pleasure of dancing to…' Hugh Matthew, The Review
'…Driving ceilidh music… a model ceilidh band…' Colin Randall, Daily Telegraph
'…liable to leave you panting on the floor…' Dirty Linen, USA

Caller for the evening is the experienced MARTYN HARVEY. Martyn is one of the most popular and hard working callers in the UK, and he works regularly with some of this country's top Ceilidh Bands. We've enticed him down from his native Cumbria to enjoy his dynamic and compelling calling.

Our interval entertainment (to give you a breather and a chance to buy a pint or two from the Real Ale bar) are Shore Tars Rapper – five likely lads from Milton Keynes, with their fast and intricate sword dances, and most unlikey characters in support!

Doors open at 7.30 for an 8.00 pm start, with an 11.30 pm finish – a good night out, and not expensive (£7.50 adults and £4 children under 14). Tickets available at the door.

Cheers JB - we heard you were in Baldock - Ref said you were splitting up to spread the gospel

You were very quiet on Tuesday - are you getting old gracefully - Alans face was a picture - he looked like he was sitting next to a UXB

I'm still not sure about your Anderson's Coast - I still prefer Mick Pierces (wot no capo) version
