Cayley and Clea, also known as the “Giants Causeway Duo” are from Bellingham: Cayley Schmid on fiddle and Clea Taylor on cello. They will play Celtic bangers from Scotland, Ireland, and beyond. This will be their first time on our stage, so welcome them as they help us welcome a new season!
Elisabeth Monica calling
Elisabeth Monica returns to call for our beginning of the season. One of the new generation of contra dance callers, she ended our season in June, and we’re especially glad to have her back to begin our new season. And, as always she’ll do a free beginner/refresher workshop at 7:00 just before the dance.
