Every year we have opportunities for performing. We’re open for bookings, and welcome new dancers and musicians who would like to join us. We often perform at the National Folk Festival, Shakespeare in the Gardens, the Galvanized Festival and Abbey Medieval Festival. This year we’ll be running a series of workshops for callers at the National Folk Festival, and performing some dances from the Isle of Man at the Glen Innes Celtic Festival. We also have private bookings for Burn’s Night, a Bridgerton Ball, and Jane Austen Balls.
