The next LITMA Contradance will be on SUNDAY, March 19th at 2:00 PM
Basic instruction at 1:45 PM
We have two special callers calling for us on March 19th. Sue Gola & Dylan Simpson are up and coming callers from New Jersey. They should provide us with a really fun afternoon of dancing. The band for the dance will be Dance All Night featuring Maria Fairchild (banjo), Mary Nagin (fiddle), and Max Rowland (Banjo & Concertina)
Maria has been playing for LITMA contradances since the early days at the Neighborhood House in Setauket. In Portland, Oregon, she was in Cat’s Cradle with Sue Songer, author of The Portland Collection, the “bible” of contradance tunes. She has also led banjo workshops for the Long Island Bluegrass Festival and the New England NOMAD Folk Festival.
Mary is one of the founding members of Dance All Night. She provides a lively melody that keeps folks moving on the dance floor. Max is the youngest member of the group, but is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, able to provide both rhythm and melody as needed. All three are also members of the Irish Band Fiddler’s Green.
Please bring a Friend (or two) and Snacks to share at the break
