Most of them died, but they managed to stop it spreading. It's a powerful story but I don't know anything about the play.There is a dance scene which needs a fiddler. If you're interested, please contact Jill Hewer direct (01273 844208, dandjmhewer_at_tiscali_dot_co_dot_uk She asked me to forward her enquiry.ValmaiIn a message dated 03/03/2010 14:49:05 GMT Standard Time, dandjmhewer_at_tiscali_dot_co_dot_uk writes:Thank you so much for doing this for me.
The play is ‘The Roses of Eyam’ by Don ~Taylor directed by Angela Reid for Henfield Theatre Company ( an amateur group with a good reputation)
The true story of when the plague arrived in a Derbyshire village in 1666.
Production dates 7 – 10th July plus two dress rehearsals – probably the 5 and 6th July.
It will be performed in St. Peter’s church and churchyard at Henfield.
It will entail playing for a country dance fairly near the beginning of the play. The fiddler will be in costume (supplied).
Expenses will be paid.
Very many thanks

Hi All,
RE: Help to find Morris dancers at a running event in Waltham Forest, East London.
Dean is really keen to link dance and sporting events and is arranging performance happenings along the route of the run.
He thought having folk dancing would be great so I hope some of you can help by passing on this info to those you think might be interested.... not being in London myself any more, I don't know who is dancing in the area...
So please pass this around and/or contact Dean directly (and please copy me in so I know who has responded - thanks).
Thanks very much.
Cheers, Kerry

Hi Kerry,
I am just reminding you about our event following our conversation at the Big Dance Meeting at Stratford Circus. I remember you saying there may have been a folk group that was interested in performing at the event? I hope this still stands as we would love to have some folk dancers at the event.
I’ve attached a Entertainers Form to be filled in and sent back to my office.
The link of the website is below for you to look at.
If there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Dean James Ibrahim
