Sue Jones & John Nielson – Sue brings her lively fiddle playing and French music discovery to the stage, and John’s accordion magic has graced everything from ceilidh bands to creative collaborations with Francisco the Man, Bosco, and Half Six. Together, they create a fun, dynamic atmosphere perfect for any dancer.
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.
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 night. Balfolk is about community, inclusivity, and shared enjoyment. Come dance, laugh, and be part of something special!
