by Friday Folk 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hi, Please see the information below from Alison Macfarlane about French group BandaBéro who are performing in St Albans. Bob BandaBéro, from St Albans’ twin town of Nevers in central France, is a dance band playing the music derived from the local region, the Nivernais. It is doing a short tour of Southern England at the end of October and spending two days in St Albans. On Friday October 28, it is playing a concert in Redbourn Village Hall at 8pm, with support for local duo na-mara. On Saturday afternoon, there will be a musicians workshop at 2pm at St Julian’s Church Hall, St Albans. Nevers has a rich heritage of songs and tunes collected over a century ago by local writer Achille Milien, so there will be much to share. On Saturday evening at 8pm, BandaBéro will be playing for a dance at Francis Bacon School, Drakes Drive, St Albans at 8pm, preceded by a dance workshop at 5.30pm to teach their dances. Programme of BandaBéro’s visit to St Albans Friday October 28 Concert, 8pm Supported by na-mara Redbourn Village Hall, 63 High Street, Redbourn AL3 7LW Tickets £10 Saturday October 29 Musicians workshop, 2-4pm St Julian’s Church Hall, 3 Abbots Avenue, St Albans AL1 2HX Tickets £15, under 25 £5 Saturday October 29 French dance workshop 5.30pm Dance 8pm Francis Bacon School, Drakes Drive, St Albans AL1 5AR Workshop £3, Dance £9 The school is not well placed for pubs and restaurants, so you are invited to bring your own evening meal to eat between the workshop and the dance.
