Dance with Les Hirondelles
If you have never tried French or Breton dancing before why not come along and give it a go, for most of the dances you do not require a partner and some are fairly simple to pick up. Most towns in Brittany have a fest noz in the summer often weekly where the whole community meets up, dances, socialises and has a drink or two. There will be lots of people who will show you the steps. It appeals to both young and old, if you don’t fancy dancing, come along and just enjoy the wonderful music. Bringing a slice of Brittany to Saxmundham.

Les Hirondelles
This band joined us last season and it was a cracking night!
Les Hirondelles formed following an encounter at the Folk East Sandlings sessions in February 2018, to play french and breton music. Drawing influences from the English, European and Irish folk traditions, indie and classical music. They have a unique driving sound and innovative arrangements aimed to get everyone on their feet. Emma Hardy and Pete Sewell (fiddles), Vicky Lambert (flute and whistle) and Tom hardy (guitar).
Pete and Vicky were the organisers of Bungay Folk Festival held on 6th, 7th and 8th September.
