Top Lancaster folk group The Free Reed Band has announced that its former caller, Mark Davies, latterly of Hungary and now of Libya, will call at a ceilidh with the band at the Gregson Centre next month.

The ceildh will take place on Monday 29 December 2008 from 8.00pm to 11.00pm and the night of dancing will only cost you £5.00.

“This is the last ceilidh of the year,” says band member Tony Cooke, “the first time we have seen Mark for three years and the eight hundred and twentieth time Free Reed Band has played at the Gregson!”

Put it in your diary now, tell your friends and make it the social occasion of that week.
