Banter Fancy Dress Ceilidh (Caller Fee Lock)
August 9 AT 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Get your Woodland Fairie costumes out and join in the fun with Banter at this wonderfully silly Ceilidh! Banter are: Simon Care on melodeon & concertina, Nina Zella on keyboards & vocals, Tim Walker on drums, percussion, brass, guitar, bass & vocals and Mark Jolley on bass, fiddle, guitar & vocals. Four fine musicians whose roots are firmly in the traditional English genre, but who enjoy stretching the limits. Formed in 2015, they realised that a common love for the living traditions of English song and dance music was at their core and began to pursue it’s evolution, bringing in flavours from a wider palette of musical influences. They have gained a reputation for being powerfully unique in the English traditional music genre. Their popularity has placed them in great demand to perform at many of the UK’s largest festivals including: Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Broadstairs Folk Week, Sidmouth Folk Festival, Whitby Folk Week, Folk East, Oxford Folk Week, Wickham Festival, Gate To Southwell Festival and Towersey Festival as well as internationally at European festivals such as Rudolstadt (Germany) and Costa festivals in Portugal and Ibiza.
Highly experienced caller Fee Lock rocks the stage with her inimitable style and panache. Fee prepares meticulously with the band for every ceilidh. You are guaranteed to find your new favourite dances perfectly matched to banging tunes. A long time star of the folk scene and a mover and shaker in the morris: from the tips of her wild silver hair to the soles of her DM boots Fee will get your feet moving and your arms waving. Unmissable.
