About

Summer Barn Dance comes to Norden Farm’s Long Barn

Join Norden Farm for an evening of music and dancing in the atmospheric 18th century Long Barn. Summer Barn Dance is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Saturday 4 July at 7.30pm. Tickets are £17.50.

You’ll be in safe hands with caller Alan Simpson, who will guide you through the dances - while band Nedron’s Jig provide the live music. Expect English, Scottish and Irish music on the squeezebox, fiddle, mandola and bass. With expert demonstrations of the dances throughout the evening.

Nedron’s Jig includes Paul Nye (melodeon / squeezebox), Tom Leary (fiddle), Mike Sanderson (mandola) and Davey Harding (bass).

The band originally formed as a one-off for a ceilidh at Norden Farm 15 years ago. The musicians were already long-time friends, playing together in different line-ups across the folk scene.

Tom and Davey are also members of the acclaimed Feast of Fiddles, recently completing its 30th anniversary national tour. Feast of Fiddles is a musical entertainment like no other, featuring six of the UK’s finest fiddle players.

Paul and Mike have been playing folk dance music together since the 1980s. Before Nedron’s Jig, they performed in The Riverside and Phungus and have contributed to a wide range of dance and music projects, including television work such as Midsomer Murders.

A fun night is in store and no experience necessary!
