Belfagan Dancing Outside The Greyhound At Bothel








Belfagan Dancing Outside The Greyhound At Bothel
Diary 2004

Belfagan practise at 8pm every Monday night through the autumn and winter in All Saints Parish Rooms, Cockermouth. We are always keen to recruit new members. No previous experience is necessary. Why not just come for a couple of weeks and see if you like it?

New musicians are always welcomed too. Musicians don't have to turn up every week if they don't want to, but it's important to have people we can call on when we need them. Any portable instrument will work for morris: the days when everyone played melodeon or fiddle are long gone.

Click here to email Ally for more information. As well as designing the website I have also played in the band for the past 7 years, and have recently decided to have a go at dancing as well. If I ever get any good at it I shall be torn between playing and dancing - even more reason for a new musician or two to contact us!
