Seasonal & Holiday
Bank Holiday Bal
Join us in Sheffield for this very exciting double bal featuring 2 gorgeous balfolk duos:
Feather and Fox are Victor Lekeu and Christiane Bisitz. The make sublime original music on mandolin, cello, and voice. Their instruments are beautifully complementary and their energy is delicate, joyous and playful. They are over from Germany for their first tour in the UK. Not to be missed!
Emily Bowden & Simon Dumpleton have been touring together on the UK and EU folk scene for over 10 years. They love the opportunity to play as a duo and will offer more intimate arrangements of their Emily & The Simons set on fiddle and chromatic accordion.
For newcomers to this dance style: Balfolk is a lovely, welcoming, inclusive space to enjoy partner dances and group dances, or simply to enjoy listening to the music. At times lively and rambunctious, at other times mellow and meditative.
There will be a beginners' dance workshop at the start to meet each other and have a taster of some of the more common dances.
