Folk Dance - Barn and English

About the adviser

I started Calling in 1967 at school, and then my big break was running our Playford group (dances 1600-1900) for 3 months.

Later on in life, I called at several EFDSS (English Folk Dance and Song Society) affiliated clubs covering Wiltshire, Bristol, Somerset and Devon.

I am a life member of the society and have caller insurance with them. I took up Scottish Dancing in 1967.

I run Weston-super-Mare folk dance group.

Occassionally I am invited to Call for the odd Barn Dance.

At folk festivals I try and dance as much American Contra and Squares as I can.
