Whitby Folk Week

Hello!
We’re off to Whitby Folk Week in a couple of weeks time. If you’re looking for our schedule this is it! We’re looking forward to the whole thing. Come to the Playford Ball – we’ll be in costume and it’s going to be epic!! If you’ve not been to the Playford Ball before they’re very cool! The above video is the kind of thing you can expect. Think Bridgerton and Jane Austin for costume, but the dances tend to be older, but just as cool. The dance in the video above is actually a modern dance, but we were able to make such a cool video that we love it! Help us make a cool video at Whitby too!
Vicki is doing a Swedish tune workshop. Remember Whitby at Home 2020? The video we made is at the bottom of this page!!
See you there!
