GBH CEILIDHS

Saturday 31st March, 8.00pm
G.B.H. with dance caller Nick Walden
The Borough Hall, Bridge Street, Godalming GU7 1HR

The revival of the Godalming barn dances continues with the G.B.H. band at the Borough Hall this coming Saturday.  

Following the enormous success of our barn dance with The Old Swan Band at the beginning of the month we are delighted to welcome back two members of The Swans - Heather Horsley on keyboards and Martin Brinsford on percussion  - plus Grand Union's squeezebox player Roger Grimes this Saturday, 31st March.  No forgetting, of course, Godalming Borough Hall's favourite dance caller, Nick Walden.

GBH (Grimes, Brinsford, Horsley) at GBH (Godalming Borough Hall)  :-)

Subject: Saturday 31st March - Dave Shepherd's workshop and Bal for Dansez Francais in Patcham, Brighton

Dansez Fran?ais
Sat 31st March

The last Saturday of March is next week, and we are delighted to have Dave Shepherd as our guest for the day. Dave will do a dance workshop from 3pm until about 6pm, and then will be the main musician at the Bal which starts at 8pm. We invited Dave at last year's Eurobash (yes,  2011!) so we've been looking forward to his first trip to Dansez Fran?ais for a long time! The workshop costs ?6.
The Bal costs ?7, and there's a small discount for the two events, for ?12.

Book with us for the afternoon, so we know how many cups of tea to make, and we can let Dave know what number he'll be working with.

Also, our tradition is to do a shared meal in the time between the workshop and the Bal. If you'd like to come, please bring a contribution to the feast (drink too, and also your own plate, glass and cutlery). Usually participants help us set up the tables, etc. We'd like to start eating all together, following a "Bienvenue" at 6.30pm.

As usual details & maps etc on the website: http://www.dansezfrancais.org.uk
