# Event Details

- **Event Name**: TCD 4th Friday Contra in Durham (Location: Old Murphey School)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Please take note of the location for this dance, it's not at the normal 4th Friday spot. And yes, it's the Old Murphey School on Murphy Road! Sometime after 1960, the “e” in Murphey was dropped so that the school was commonly referred to as the “Murphy School.” Thus, the spelling of “Murphy School Road” differs from the historic name. Many thanks to the National Register of Historic Places for this detailed narrative. We hope to see you there.

Band: The Piedmont Polecats. (Rex McGee, fiddle, banjo and guitar; Randy Johnson, guitar and fiddle; David Thompson, bass, Buz Lloyd, fiddle)

Caller: George Segebade

If you're new to contra dancing, or need a refresher, arrive by 7:15 so you can check in and be ready for the lesson that starts at 7:30.

No fragrances, please.

Wear comfortable soft-soled shoes and cool, comfortable clothes. No partner expected, and masks are fine.

Our suggested sliding scale for admission is $10 - $30, and TCD needs an average of $20 per dancer to break even. No one is turned away for lack of funds, pay an amount that feels good to you. We accept cash or credit card.
