Saturday 28 April, Dansez Francais
in Brighton welcome Les Souris Dansent
"le chat parti,
les souris dansent... when the cat's away the mice will play"
So now you know what it means, come and dance with them !
Another incarnation of Daniel Wolverson's band of expert musicians (think of
Boldwood, Cyser, for starters) are our guests this month, playing their
lovely blend of traditional French and self-composed tunes for us. As usual
starting at 8pm with Jeudi Matin to warm us up, and then a full programme of
dancing in the interval between Les Souris' two guest spots.
Matt has some of the dots on his blog http://folkmusicnotes.wordpress.com/
