The Knees Up Cecil Sharp ceilidhs provide interesting and energetic evenings of folk dancing. They present a mixture of established and up-and-coming bands mostly playing in the English ceilidh style. A favourite is The Committee Band which was founded to play for these dances. We aim to cater for both experienced dancers and for newcomers; a caller explains each dance and dancers walk it through beforehand.
Knees Ups take place monthly on Friday evenings (normally the third Friday of the month -- but note that in 2008, for reasons beyond our control, some ceilidhs are on other Fridays). The programme gives details of all the forthcoming ceilidhs.
Each dance begins at 8pm and admission is £8.00 per person (£6.00 concessions). The venue is:
Cecil Sharp House,
2 Regents Park Road,
London,
NW1 7AY
my Cecil Sharp House page describes how to get there. There is a licensed bar serving Greene King real ales.
By popular demand, all dances are now in the Kennedy Hall -- the main upstairs hall.
