New Season of Fundraiser Shakedowns at Cheriton Bishop Village Hall!
What's the story? Well,
like all true arts bodies, we need to rattle the tin every now and then to ensure we can
keep running our current projects, like Devon Melodeon Project and Squeeze Keys and get a
bit under the belt to start new projects. We ran a series last Winter and very popular
they were too. We featured Devon based bands to showcase just how many talented musicians
there are in the county. The funds raised have helped us with the costs of the Melodeon
Project and Squeeze Keys piano accordion courses, which in these hard times was most
welcome.
So we're setting up for a second series of ceilidhs (barn dances if you prefer) at Cheriton Bishop Village Hall. I already said that, didn't I? Anyway, they're going to be great, once again featuring the brightest stars in Devon's dance band firmament.
Dances start at 8.00pm.
Tickets are £6 - you can email or ring Ed on 01363 774426
Bring your own bite and sup!
Now feast your eyes on this lot:

Top dance band from the far
frozen North (well, Barnstaple actually!)
Their depth of musical and dance experience

(They didn't have a piccie, so here is a nice Etruscan Vase)
A very squeezy band,
with English and Anglo concertinas, melodeon and a guitar thrown in for good measure.
Great dance music from the South Hams!

Relatively new kids on the Devon dance scene, this stompy trio features
Jenny Read (piano), a local melodeon player and Matt Norman (mandolin).

Full English

Lindy Villazon
Full English? Most of their tunes are English, and the ones that aren’t wish they were.
