Leeds Ceilidh, July 2026

Peter Barnard writes:

The No Lazy Dancing Dance Band and I played for a fantastic ceilidh last night at The University of Leeds’ International Medieval Congress (IMC). Dancing in the Dales. The dancers were all up for an evening’s dancing even though it was quite warm. It was a lovely evening, with no lazy dancing on show!
