Belfagan practise at 8pm every Monday night through the autumn, winter and early spring.
We now use Eaglesfield Village Hall as our regular venue - if you'd like to come and try
some dancing or playing, please email ally for
directions.
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 since
1997, 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!
Please note that all times given are Morris
Time and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Each year from about the beginning of May we dance out
every
Monday night at various pubs in the area. We practise on Monday nights from mid-
September until the following spring.
We love being contacted by people who'd like to join us - dancers or musicians -
experienced or complete novices. (We'll soon knock you into shape!) Just email ally for more info.
We also perform at various events and functions throughout the summer - these, too,
will
be announced here as soon as they are confirmed. If you'd like us to dance at your event,
please get in touch.
