Doors 7.30pm, dancing from 8 until 11pm.Wantage band Melobo is known for its distinctive and mellifluous blend of melodeon and oboe. The popular band has made a name for itself playing at local events and national ceilidh series such as BunkFest, Unicorn Ceilidhs, Red Fox Ceilidhs and Pavilion Dance South West in Bournemouth. Drawing on musical influences from the baroque to rock, their tunes are irresistibly danceable. The band was put together to explore what happens when classical and folk music are blended, which creates the band’s unique sound. This trio is Graham Hubbard (melodeon and fiddle), Charlotte Pascoe (oboe, recorder and Scottish smallpipes) and Howard Hill (bass and guitar).
Jane Bird, who is usually seen making cups of tea for the band and drawing the raffle, is delighted to have been persuaded to call some smashing dances. She takes care to choose dances that everyone can enjoy.
Interval entertainment comes from Silver Flame Rapper, the fast spinning, boot shuffling, gin guzzling, all girl rapper team, who come from all corners of England to dazzle us with their dances.
There is a licensed bar with ale, cider, wine and soft drinks.
