This year's MayFest Ceilidh is with the No Lazy Dancing Dance Band, and it's going to be a real Yorkshire treat.
The band was formed after meeting the melodeon player and historian, Bob Ellis at a Dales dance in Kettlewell. Bob had spent nearly a decade researching musicians, callers, tunes, and dances throughout the Yorkshire Dales. From this research he published a book There Was None of this Lazy Dancing! as well as establishing an archive at the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes. The No Lazy Dancing Dance Band repertoire consists of tunes from Bob's book and from other manuscript sources from Yorkshire and the North.
Tickets £10 / £5 local residents (DL9, DL10, DL11)
