joyful night fusing the irresistible moves of ceilidh and bhangra dancing.\r\nKuljit Bhamra MBE, tabla player, composer, and producer, has collaborated with accordionist and composer Becky Price to produce an album of new bhangra ceilidh tunes which will be launched on the night – featuring newly composed music drawing from both vibrant traditions and designed to get people dancing! Kuljit will be joined by melodeonist and singer Hazel Askew to lead a band of brilliant young musicians brought together from alumni of the National Youth Folk Ensemble with specialist Indian instrumentalists.\r\n\r\nLeading callers Lisa Heywood and Hardeep Sahota will guide you through joyous dances fusing the irresistible moves of ceilidh and bhangra dancing! Sit back and enjoy interval dance spots from morris and bhangra dancers, the Outside Capering Crew (morris dancing) and Vasda Punjab (bhangra dancing).\r\n\r\nDances are suitable for all levels of experience - including none! The music can also be enjoyed as an aural treat! The callers will show you the moves and use gender-free calling. Come with your friends or on your own – ceilidhs are a great way to meet new people!","links":["https://www.efdss.org/whats-on/27-dances/14104-bhangra-ceilidh-2024"],"start":"2024-11-02T19:00:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-02T22:00:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"London","styles":["e-ceilidh"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"callers":["Lisa Heywood","Hardeep Sahota"],"price":"£12-£18","organisation":"EFDSS","source":"events/uk/efdss.yaml"},{"name":"Lancaster Contra","details":"Behind the mic: Lisa Heywood\nMusicians: Heather McAslan and Edward Wallace","links":["http://lancastercontra.org.uk/events/","https://www.facebook.com/events/710205900947385/"],"start":"2024-11-16T13:30:00+00:00","end":"2024-11-16T16:45:00+00:00","country":"UK","city":"Lancaster","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["Edward Wallace & Heather McAslan"],"callers":["Lisa Heywood"],"price":"£10-£15","organisation":"Lancaster Contra","source":"events/uk/lancaster.yaml"},{"name":"Bristol Contra Dance","details":"Bristol Contra Dance is a communal-style folk dance very similar to a Ceilidh. No partner or experience is necessary. A caller leads the dancers through a series of moves. All calling is gender free.\n\nLisa Heywood will be calling with music from Dodging Pheasants.\n\nWe are in the Faith Space Chapel. It's nice and close to Temple Meads and comes with free parking. Check the new Bristol Clean Air Zone information carefully, as this may effect you.\n\nWe have cheese in the break, along with tea, coffee and cordial. You are welcome to bring your own things. Please don't bring alcohol, as this is the venue rule.\n\nBristol Contra is committed to not having the cost of a dance be a hindrance to anyone attending, and have a sliding pay scale.\n\nSuggested prices available on the door:\nUnwaged £6\nWaged £10\nSupporters Ticket £15.\nThe new supporters ticket is a fair representation of what the event costs to run, and supports fair fees for the Band and Caller. It is entirely voluntary.\n\nSo bring your smiles and your joy and come join us for amazing social dancing. Absolutely all welcome of any level of experience for great dancing to some amazing gender-free calling and brilliant music!","links":["https://bristolcontra.wordpress.com/","https://www.facebook.com/events/1304064087665929/"],"start":"2025-04-25T19:45:00+01:00","end":"2025-04-25T23:00:00+01:00","country":"UK","city":"Bristol","styles":["contra"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Dodging Pheasants"],"callers":["Lisa Heywood"],"price":"£6-£15","organisation":"Bristol Contra","source":"events/uk/bristol_contra.yaml"}]}
