Thanks to Sidcot School Reunion Community 2026 for sharing a wonderful evening with Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band last night. It truly showed the power of country dancing to bring together the generations in a friendly and relaxed community setting. From pre-school children to a nearly 90 years young (and still dancing) lady, the large hall at Sidcot School, Winscombe, North Somerset was packed with laughter and community spirit. In abundance, there were do-si-dos, right hand stars and galloping between the lines. Rarely in country dancing has stripping the willow seen so much energy.
A nearly 90 year young lady asked for dipping and diving and it was duly arranged with the Boston Tea Party Dance. Her smile was wonderful to see and Barnbuskers dance caller and band leader Judy loved the hug she received afterwards!
So, a big thank-you Sidcot School Reunion 2026 for inviting Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band to provide the music and the dance caller for their special community evening. We had a great time!
Country dancing at ceilidhs and barn dances are a great way to bring a community together. So, if you are thinking of holding a school reunion or, indeed, any other get together of family, friends or colleagues in Somerset or Devon, our band leader and organiser Judy (photo above) would love to hear from you. Simply message us on Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band contact page. If, you also love country dancing, as we do, but are not thinking of holding an event yourselves, our Barnbuskers news page often gives details of open to the public dances where we are playing. Finally, as always, we’d love you to keep in touch by joining our online community on Barnbuskers social media. Bye for now!
