Whapweasle
Whapweasel have long been recognised as one of the finest ceilidh bands in the country, which
is why they've played and lead the Friday night ceilidh before. Well this year their
back to do the calling duty again.
There's more to the band than just playing ceilidh, they've a string of
albums to back their live performance. One of the reason's why they've gained their
reputation is because of the way they approach the dance tradition. Keyboards and a
brass section complement more traditional ceilidh instrumentation.
The Friday Night Ceilidh is one of
Cambridge's most enduring tradition. It reflects that not all folk is about
the music a lot of it is about te dance. There's seperate ceilidh
opportunities for the younger generation and the main one is normally
broken up with a band to give you the chance to get
your breath back. Generally it's not too complicated so that it should be fun
for every one.
