Fiddle Frazzle at Cawston Hall December 9th

Country  Dance will be a feature of the second half of Fiddle Frazzles’s concert at The Cawston Hall December 9th.

 It’s an old time pre-Christmas celebration with 6 musicians on fiddle and other strings.

Ron Wall and the Fiddle Frazzle ensemble of traditional musicians played at The Cawston Hall two year’s back and the dancing was a major hit of the evening.

That’s not surprising. To kick up the heels to a lively fiddle tune was a delight to English and American country folk well into the twentieth century.  It’s simple and fun.

It was called “old time dancing” to the generation of British Columbians who built and enlivened the many community halls build in the 1920’s and 1930’s.  It was home grown music and home-grown fun.

First built in 1922 , The Cawston Hall has been the scene of countless such soirees over the years.

Fiddle Frazzle at The Cawston Hall on December 9th opens at 6 pm. Music starts at 7.  Refreshments will be from the kitchen and bar.

Proceeds go to K Mountain Music Invitational Society who provide  scholarships for young musicians in the Lower Similkameen.

Tickets  are $10 at The Dragon’s Den in Penticton, Cawston Marketplace, Similkameen Agencies and Keremeos Pharmasave. Inquiries, call 250-499-5417.
