This local group were so good when we saw them here last spring that we did not hesitate to book them again for a full evening. They are an innovative young 6-piece band who met within Joe Broughton's Conservatoire Folk Ensemble. They take their name from the old Betty Fox School of ballet in Birmingham. They share a wealth of musical experience united by a deep-rooted love of folk and world music and their debut album Based on a True Story is not to be missed. Their intricate compositions evoke images of wind-wept headlands, witches and wild vertical adventures - come and find out!

The Old Dance School will be sharing the evening with two other former students from the Birmingham Conservatoire—Jack McNeil and Charlie Hays. They have gone on to make a name for themselves armed with new tunes and songs ensuring a special night of music-making.
