Saturday, 4th April, 7.30
CANCELLED: Stepling: "A unique and exciting blend of music, step/clog dance and song inspired by English traditions." The United Church, Croft Road, Crowborough Many Crowborough Arts members will already be familiar with the work of percussionist Jo May, who has performed at several of our events, including ’Leading Ladies’ (with fiddler/vocalist Sarah Matthews) and ‘Face to Face’ (with Flamenco guitarist Matt Sullivan). Jo has mesmerised our audiences with her performances on the balafon and her virtuosity on the spoons, as well as more conventional percussion instruments. Stepling features fiddle and vocals from Deb Chalmers (Folk Dance Remixed, Laurel Swift’s ‘Travelling with Thomas’), guitar from Adrian Lever (Alma, James Patrick Gavin), percussion from Jo May (Against the Grain, Token Women) and percussive dance from champion clog dancer Toby Bennett. The band’s richly varied performances combine traditional and new material – from high energy competition clog to carefully crafted arrangements, many with foot percussion. They have performed at UK folk festivals including Sidmouth, Whitby, Shepley, Broadstairs and Priddy. Their debut album ‘Leap’ was released in 2018 to great acclaim. Members £10, non-members £12 Bookings: call 01892 853294/email gaye.jee@clara.co.uk |

Workshops
Since Crowborough Arts was launched in 2010, we have run a successful programme of creative workshops.
These have often been led by Crowborough Arts members. Visual arts workshops have ranged from An Introduction to Abstract Art, Japanese Appliqué to A History of Lace and Lacemaking and Calligraphy. Our literary workshops have covered Writing and Performing Poetry and An Introduction to Autobiography.
Many of our members have expressed an interest in running workshops and we are always delighted to hear from anyone with new ideas. If you would like to become involved in our workshop programme we’d be happy to support you in the development and delivery of your ideas. Please email Christine Roberts for further information or phone her on 01892 853159.
