Dust off your dancing shoes and circle Saturday the 2nd of December in your calendars for an evening that promises to shake the very timbers of The Kings Arms in Bedford! Skimmington Ride, the most raucous folk ensemble this side of the British Isles, is set to take the stage with their rambunctious blend of traditional music that'll have you tapping your toes faster than you can say "flea on the feather and the feather on the bird and the bird on the egg and the egg on the nest and the nest on the twig and the twig on the branch and the branch on the limb and the limb on the tree and the tree in the bog and the bog down in the valley-o!"
From the jingle jangle of the first triangle, until the last note echoes through the night, Skimmington Ride will lead you on an auditory adventure along the roads and railways of England, through the fisheries of Scotland, and the spirited pubs of Ireland. Their high-octane performance is a guaranteed folk frenzy, as they masterfully weave together heart-stirring melodies and full-throated anthems that will leave you breathless – and quite possibly voiceless from singing along. Be there at The Kings Arms on Saturday 2nd December to join the jamboree and live a night that will linger in your memories like the sweetest of folk tunes!
