Time: 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Beginner lesson: 7:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Location: Fairhaven Library Auditorium (enter through side door). 1117 12th St., Fairhaven

Band: Touring band “The Nettles“ blend traditional Irish and American music with modern spices. Laura Brophy’s fiddle forms strong melodies punctuated by soaring improvisation and intertwined with Kev Nettles’ muscular guitar with Michael Proctor on bass.

Caller: Get our your spanner, it’s Isaac Banner. He’ll fix us up a real good time. Whether you’re partial to mm or fractional inches, metric and imperial is welcomed. Don’t worry, 5/16th or 3/16th sockets won’t be needed, just look in the tool becket for your favourite ratchet and a good 3/4 turn to the left, encouraged and advised, will loosen up the ball joints — especially at start. If you’ve lost a bolt, borrow from a neighbour, shadow, or perhaps your partner. Remember, left loosey, righty tighty. By the end of the night Isaac will have us running like a well oiled bicycle chain (grand promenade anyone?) in our regular practice of group cooperation: the ladies chain also in a 1 : 2 reducing close-ratio transmission. Hey, no cheater/breaker bar or man doubler needed here. With such dancing efficiency and social proficiencies we’ll have tightened up the contra corners in no time, better never than late for your partner’s sake. So strap down those dance shoe lace bunny ears, the sky is the limit.

Entry: $12-$15; $8 students (by donation)
