Make sure you join The Runaway Strings for this workshop introducing this year’s parade song “On the Road Again” by Willie Nelson. Bring your banjo, your voice, or any other instrument you’d like and join in with your fellow Jambo attendees as we learn this classic and get ready for the 2026 parade!
From beginners to experienced performers, we want as many people as possible to feel welcome and part of the parade, so come along and get involved.
What is clogging you may ask? Clogging is a folk dance, that originated in the Appalachian Mountains of America. Clogging is infectious and fun. It’s percussive, and you don’t need a partner. Come to my very basic workshop, and bust a few moves on the floor with me. Footwear required is a shoe not thongs or bare trotters! We will have live musos to keep us on track.
Southern Appalachian old timey mountain and modern Americana music played with gusto and authenticity, learnt directly from the masters during visits to USA festivals and band camps.
Appalachian Heaven String Band perform driving and sensitive fiddle tunes, dance tunes with curly toes, cheeky songs and disarmingly touching ballads, delighting audiences young and young-at-heart!
