3. GLEANED from allceilidh group
New Haddenham Ceilidh season 2012-2013
I'm pleased to let you all know that the programme for the next
Hadddenham Ceilidh season is
now up on the website,
www.haddenhamceilidhs.co.uk
On 2nd June, at the end of our 2011/2012 season, Hugh Rippon decided
to retire from being our regular caller after being on the Haddenham
stage ever since the series started. Thankfully he's not given up
completely, but for seven of the nine dances in the new season we're
putting the calling mike into some new hands (to us, anyway).
The bands this year are:
October: Steamchicken
called by Mary Panton
November: The New Slide plus Phil Bassendale
December: The Old Swan Band with caller Hugh Rippon
January: Random plus
caller Alan Simpson
February: The Watch called
by Sheena Masson
March:
The English String Band plus caller Barry Goodman
April:
Peeping Tom with Hugh Rippon calling
May:
All Blacked Up with Baz Parkes calling
June:
Polkaworks plus Barry Goodman calling
Always the first Saturday of the month from October to June.
As usual, alongside the dances there's a dance display (except in
October) and an acoustic concert.
Entrance cost: ?10 or ?12 except December 1st - see website for details.
Cheers
