Notes Pour Potes – A vibrant six-piece band with a long history (longer than they care to remember!) in Morris dancing and ceilidh bands. Now, they’re bringing their passion to balfolk, blending traditional rhythms with the energy of Eurodance. Liz plays hurdy-gurdy, melodeon, and concertina; Sam on percussion; Cath with piano accordion and whistles; Jenny on guitar and banjo; Gill on melodeon and recorder; and Ian on concertina. Listen out for a lively set. The Waite Collective – A family affair! Mother Mal and daughters Rebecca and Katrina have been singing together for over 20 years. Their joyful songs, full of catchy tunes and heartfelt energy, are sure to get your feet moving as you join in on the dance floor. Workshop - Branle de Noirmoutier & La Montagnarde (bourrée). We have two wonderful dances featured this month. The Branle de Noirmoutier hails from the picturesque island of Noirmoutier off the western coast of France and is a joyful and energetic dance, all about simplicity and community spirit. La Montagnarde is a bourrée variant from the Auvergne region of central France. All levels welcome and no prior dance experience is required! Balfolk is a joyful, inclusive tradition of live folk music and social dancing from across Europe. It's an event for people of all ages and experience levels, where the focus is on having fun and connecting with others. The dances are easy to learn, and friendly dancers are always ready to show you the steps. You don’t need to bring a partner as you’ll have plenty of chances to dance with different people throughout the event. Balfolk is about community, inclusivity, and shared enjoyment. Come dance, laugh, and be part of something special!
