Hexhamshire Lasses music and dances
We are forever grateful to our ever increasing band of musicians who religiously turn up for us on our practice nights and dance outs. They include Rob (Melodeon), Brian(Melodeon), Rachel and Peter (Flute and Whistle), Frank Lee (Melodeon), Saul Rose, (Melodeon) Tom Moody (Saxophone) and Kathleen (Concertina)
We use garlands, short sticks and handkerchiefs to perform, in our own style, a wide range of dances. Many of our dances are adapted from traditional dances but a few are compositions of our own.
Our repertoire also includes Clog Dancing, with wooden soled clogs adding percussive impact to the rhythms of hornpipes, waltzes and reels.The clog routines that the lasses perform are based on steps from the North East and North West of England.
