The Beech Social Committee has got something very special lined up for the village on Saturday 13th June!
This year’s summer party will be a traditional English barn dance, with live music from the – in many ways untraditional – folk band Threepenny Bit.
Hampshire-based Threepenny Bit are an example of how traditional dance tunes and contemporary sounds can be blended into a fresh interpretation of folk music. This dynamic eight-piece band combines a group of diehard folkies with some of the finest young jazz and classical musicians of the south. They play bold arrangements of traditional and original tunes with infectious stage energy for concerts and ceilidh dancing.
Their lively arrangements of traditional and original tunes played with infectious stage energy, are sure to have the whole family up and dancing! You can hear some examples from their new album here.
