Ditchling goes Dutch

Sat 16 Jun
Ditchling Village Hall

Ditchling Morris had Dutch dance group Lesseschots over for the weekend; we went to the ceilidh in the evening with Unreel - exuberant playing and very danceable. The cart-horse didn't come but the clogs did.

Drift at the Oak

Fri 18 May
Royal Oak, Lewes

Ceilidh with Drift, playing a variety of English, French and Breton dances. Mel puts these small-scale evenings on once every 3 months or so - they are much appreciated, and the music is high-class!

Jack in the Green

Sat 5 May

Hastings dances in the summer with its 'Jack in the Green' festival. We managed to get to the dance with the Climax Ceilidh Band, good punchy music featuring 2 fiddles and Chris Walshaw, a man of much wind.
