Always on Sunday

Well, this is a bit last minute (not the planning, just the posting), but we are having a live music party with Orkestar Banitsa on Sunday, September 22 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., at our usual dance location in Wethersfield, CT. This will be our first live music party in over 4 years. Admission sliding scale - $10-$15.

Orkestar Banitsa is a Massachusetts based band that plays lively traditional dance music from the Balkans, including Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Albania, and Bosnia. Addie Rose Holland (clarinet/vocals), Becky Ashenden (accordion/percussion/vocals), Gawain Thomas (accordion/percussion), Barbara Blumenthal (tambura/percussion), and Joe Blumenthal (bass/percussion).

They have played not only for Always on Sunday, but also for the Amherst International Folk Dance and for The Folk Arts Center of New England.
