EMILY & THE SIMONS:
Emily & the Simons are an Anglo-Belgian balfolk trio. Their music is centred around Emily’s compositions, drawing inspiration from life's encounters and the energy of the dance-floor.
Expressive, passionate, full of tenderness and playfulness; from exquisite, sensual mazurkas to joyful, driving bourrées, their music transports the imagination, stirs the feet and uplifts the spirit.
'Promise' is their new album of original balfolk compositions after the success of 2019's 'Firelight', this time featuring tracks by Simon D and Simon L as well as by Emily. Find out more on Bandcamp, or at emilyandthesimons.com which also has their other tour dates.

INFO:
The dance will take place at St Columba's United Reformed Church, Alfred St, Oxford OX1 4EH. It's about 15 minutes' walk from Oxford train station and a little less from the bus station. If you get to Oxford Parkway, take any bus into the centre of town. There are also park and ride facilities surrounding Oxford, any of them will be fine but Redbridge or Thornhills would be best.

DANCE CLASS + BAL:
We will run a dance class from 4:00 to 4:45 and then the bal will start straight away. It will finish at 7 and then there are lots of places nearby to eat if you fancy something - or you can get home for a nice early bedtime!
If you have any questions please contact us via the Facebook page or at [email protected].

Thanks folks!
