Is it me, or are the months getting shorter?

Saturday 25 October - Dance

This month's caller for our 'Caller's Season' dance is the inimitable Sheila
Mainwaring. Sheila has called for our dances before and is always great
fun. Lovely dances and also music from Flos Headford's 'Shropshire
Sessionnaires'. No idea who they will be, though I have heard a rumour that
one of them will be Chris Parkinson...........

Saturday night, 8pm as usual, pay at the door. £5, £4 concessions (you must
tell us if you're a concession, Jake and I wouldn't dream of being so rude
as to ask!), family tickets always available.

Tuesday 28 October - Folk Club

This year, the folk club happens during the annual Intensive Appalachian
Flatfooting Workshop Week taught by Ira Bernstein. This gives us the
opportunity to hear the larger-than-life Riley Baugus, also known as 'The
Hands of Pangle' (he'll explain if you ask him)! Riley has spent time this
last year working on Anthony Minghella's film, 'Cold Mountain', making and
playing the banjos and generally mixing with the stars. His amazing skills
on banjo, fiddle and guitar and his Appalachian songs, ballads and southern
preaching are worth £5 of anyone's money (£4 concessions again - see above)
and there will undoubtedly be some dancing going on.

Usual floor singers required, though. Hope to see and hear you there
