Casterton Spring Folk Dance weekend

Friday 11th April – Sunday 13th April 2025

In 2025 we are looking forward to welcoming you to an exciting programme with callers and bands from across the country.

Frances Richardson

We are delighted to have Frances calling here for the first time. Frances enjoys a variety of dance styles and has called at many festivals including Chippenham, Southam and Sidmouth.

Andrew Shaw

Andrew is widely respected both at home and abroad for his adaptations and teaching of 17th and 18th century dances and modern dances of a similar style.

Victoria Yeomans

Victoria has called in continental Europe and the USA and is a regular at major festivals here. She brings a wide repertoire of dances delivered with a concise and good-natured style.

We will have two excellent  bands.

Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer

Vicki and Jonny are versatile and talented multi-instrumentalists – Vicki with nyckelharpa, flute and assorted bagpipes (amongst others); Jonny with guitars, accordion, harpsichords, cowhorn, and a list of ancient brass. They have been deeply involved with folk dance over the last 10 years.

Fran Bulpit and Philip Rowe

Fran and Philip (Knotted Chord) last played for us in 2018. Talented musicians with a wide repertoire, they are equally at home with 17th century Playford and modern contra and ceilidh dances.
