Well, we always have a live band with a caller who explains the dances. Other names for this kind of event include Twmpath, Barn-dance, Country dance and also sometimes e-Ceilidh. Why RUFF? Well it has been described as short for ‘Roll Up For Folk’, but its really just a misspelling of Rough. Dave Parsons was once asked to create a display dance side very quickly, ‘What are you called?’ ‘Well it’s going to be rough…’ What we do is essentially traditional folk dancing. This does include new dances based on that tradition. You may have read of something like it in Jane Austen or Thomas Hardy.  Nowadays these dances are often seen at weddings, birthdays, PTA fundraisers or even at school. The reason some of these dances have survived for hundreds of years is that they are infectious and great fun. It’s a wonderful way to meet people, mix the generations, get some exercise, laugh a lot and enjoy some really exciting live music.""" links = ["http://ruffceilidhs.org/coming/", "https://cdss.org/event/ruffceilidh/2024-05-11/"] start = "2024-05-11T19:30:00+01:00" end = "2024-05-11T23:00:00+01:00" country = "UK" city = "Cardiff" styles = ["e-ceilidh"] workshop = false social = true bands = ["This Way Up"] callers = ["Nicola Scott"] price = "£5-£12" organisation = "ruffCeilidhs" source = "events/usa/cdss.yaml" [[events]] name = "Lichfield Folk Festival" links = ["https://www.lichfieldfolkfestival.co.uk/"] start = "2024-06-21T19:00:00+01:00" end = "2024-06-23T17:00:00+01:00" country = "UK" city = "Lichfield" styles = ["contra", "ecd"] workshop = true social = true bands = ["3D", "Dave, Marni & Alan", "Vertical Expression", "The Falconers", "John Hymas & Denise Bearon"] callers = ["Andrew Shaw", "Rhodri Davies", "Rosemary Hunt", "Ivan Aitken", "Neil Franklin", "Nicola Scott"] price = "£100" organisation = "Lichfield Folk Festival" source = "events/uk/lichfield.yaml" [[events]] name = "Contrabridge" links = ["https://contrabridge.org/events/2024-09/", "https://www.facebook.com/events/3880320792224690/"] start = "2024-09-28T19:30:00+01:00" end = "2024-09-28T23:00:00+01:00" country = "UK" city = "Cambridge" styles = ["contra"] workshop = false social = true bands = ["Nozzy"] callers = ["Nicola Scott"] price = "£7-£15" organisation = "Contrabridge" source = "events/uk/contrabridge.yaml" [[events]] name = "ruffContra" links = ["https://ruffceilidhs.org/ruffcontra-october-26th-2024/", "https://www.facebook.com/events/507638955364331/"] start = "2024-10-26T19:30:00+01:00" end = "2024-10-26T23:00:00+01:00" country = "UK" city = "Cardiff" styles = ["contra"] workshop = true social = true bands = ["Gareth Kiddier & Will Allen"] callers = ["Nicola Scott"] price = "£5-£12" organisation = "ruffCeilidhs" source = "events/uk/cardiff.yaml" [[events]] name = "Sytchampton Saturday dance" links = ["https://www.sytchamptondanceclub.org.uk/p/dance-diary-experiment.html"] start = "2025-03-22T19:30:00+00:00" end = "2025-03-22T22:30:00+00:00" country = "UK" city = "Sytchampton" styles = ["ecd", "contra"] workshop = false social = true bands = ["Nozzy"] callers = ["Nicola Scott"] price = "£8" organisation = "Sytchampton Folk Dance Club" source = "events/uk/sytchampton.yaml"
