Kadri
and Marju are two of the foremost traditional dance musician in
Estonia - playing fiddles, often in harmony, Estonian diatonic
accordion, jew's harp and several other instruments. They come as
part of their first UK tour to playing at the Southwell Folk Festival
in Nottinghamshire. They are passionate about their own traditional
dance music, and teaching other people about it. We're sure you've
never done this dancing before, but we guarantee you'll enjoy every
minute of it. The energetic couple, circle and longways dances are
easy to learn and there will be several teachers at the workshop
before the dance. As the most northerly country of the Baltic States
it was formerly part of the Soviet Union but it now firmly part of
the European Union – a great country to learn more about it's
revived musical tradition and culture. If you want to play some tunes
after the dance and have some tea and cake, bring instruments along
for a late night session.
