Saturday 4th February 2012. KENT
THE BIG BROADSTAIRS CEILIDH

Everyone enjoys a good ceilidh and the Sarah Thorne Memorial Theatre is hosting the Big Broadstairs Ceilidh on Saturday 4th February 2012.

It’s at Hilderstone College and the band will be Kentish favourites The Hot Rats with Doug Hudson calling the dances.

The Hot Rats are regular favourites at Broadstairs Folk Week and have travelled the world with their brand of folk/rock that features the fabulous violin playing of Ian Cutler who starred in the film, The Wicker Man.

You don’t have to be an expert to do ceilidh or barn dancing and the caller will explain and walk you through the dances. Doug Hudson, who is also the guitarist and songwriter with the Hot Rats, has called dances in some of the strangest places, including an event for the Red Army in Russia’s city of Yaroslavl.

Tickets for the event are £10 from the box office on 0845-2626263.
It starts at 7.45pm and will finish at 10.30pm so families are also welcome.
There is a £2 reduction for Friends of Sarah Thorne Theatre, Friends of Folk Week, Facebook Friends of Hot Rats and any members of SEFAN!
