Festival List
I have called at over 60 Folk Festivals or Festivals with folk content. 55 are in the UK and 10 are in the USA (where I lived from 2008-2018). The term 'ECD' covers both Folk Dance (in the UK) and English Country Dance (in the USA). The term 'contra' refers to contra dance as done in the USA.
