For this night only, support from the brilliant Rowan Rheingans, playing solo for dancing...

"Rowan Rheingans is an award-winning fiddle player, banjoist and singer best known for her work with acclaimed English folk band Lady Maisery and prog folk duo The Rheingans Sisters with whom she has won two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and is six-times nominee. But perhaps her greatest love of all is to play for dancing! Approaching the bal as a collaboration between musician and dancers, Rowan will be influenced by you who move on the dance floor, drawing on her deep knowledge of Swedish and French grooves while inviting in contemporary influences."
