Saturday 17 April 2010

The London Lasses and Pete Quinn launch their 4th album ‘By Night and By Day’ at Jerwood Hall, LSO St Luke’s

161 Old Street, London EC1V 9NG

 

There will be a great sense of occasion as the band celebrate their 10th anniversary at this prestigious venue

 

Since there has been such a high demand for tickets for this event we have asked the venue to transfer more tickets from those reserved for walk-ups to the Box Office, this should happen in the next few days.  To reserve your free ticket (don’t leave it too late!) please ring the box office at: 020 7638 8891

 

 

Don't forget, London's top monthly set dancing session will convene at 2pm at the London Irish Centre in Camden this Easter Sunday the 4th April.
 
Non stop sets interspersed with waltzs, quicksteps/jives, two hand dances and the odd ceili dance. Winding down sometime after 6pm.
 
Look forward to seeing you all there. If for some bazaar reason you can't make it, have a great Easter weekend anyway!
 
All the best
 
Geoff

 

 

Session next Saturday night 10th April, from 9pm: Sinéad and Mick Linane (fiddles), Reg Hall (keyboard) and friends at Keenan’s Pub
