Kathy Lyon on guitar, Mike Prentice on bass (glorified wash-tub or regular stand-up), Shaila Chowdhury on bodhran, Debra Tyler on keyboard, Jane Prentice and Rachel Gall on fiddle, and Jim Prentice on concertina. Join them from 7:00 until 10:00 every first Saturday of the month at the Cornwall, CT Town Hall at 24 Pine St. where they generously donate their time and talents to create an evening of music and fun for the whole family.

Each dance is taught and led by a “caller,” who explains how the dance flows and helps the dancers “walk through” the dance before the music starts. S/he continues “calling” instructions throughout the dance. Dancers of all ages and levels of ability are welcome to join in this everybody-wins team sport. To help pay the caller, we suggest a $3/child and $5/adult donation.
