Nos lowen Cornish dancing, with music by Dalla Duo. Starting with a bit of dance workshop for anyone new to nos lowen dancing. Dalla Duo (Hilary Coleman and Neil Davey) offer a celebration of the very best of Cornish traditional music in all its varied glory, from wild and mesmerising dance tunes to beautifully haunting slower pieces. This includes instrumentals on bouzouki and clarinet, as well as songs in Cornish and in English.
Hilary and Neil are both well known as co-founders of the renowned Cornish band Dalla and have done much to revive and celebrate the Celtic music of Cornwall, both being made bards of the Cornish Gorseth for their services to Cornish music. As Dalla they have toured nationally and internationally and have released five albums.
They are amongst the leading lights of the nos lowen style of Cornish Celtic dance music. Nos lowen is a style of Cornish social dancing, with a strong sense of place here in Cornwall, including very ancient traditional Cornish elements, but also much that comes from the vibrant living tradition that has exploded here in recent times. Because of its simplicity and informality you can just jump up and follow the leaders, learning as you go along. Alternatively, if you can resist dancing, the music is brilliant just to listen to anyway!
“Inventive and enchanting, their music celebrates Cornish culture in an upbeat and infectious voice” – The Guardian
