Gerry Jones
I am usually found calling from the keyboard with the Liverpool Country Dance
Band, but I am also the caller for my Fazakerley Folk-dance Club in north
Liverpool on Monday mornings, with recorded music. I am sometimes called on to
call with another band, or with my recorded music and PA systems.
Although my repertoire is mainly from the English tradition - and the "ceilidh"
end thereof - I also have long experience in the Irish and Scottish ceilidh
traditions, and so I am able to Call all the most popular Irish and Scottish
ceilidh dances.
Also, my regular attendance at the Europeade Festival has given me insights into
the folk-dancing of western Europe, which means that I can often do some minimal
calling in French, Spanish, Italian & German.
So although I do not fit any regular definition of an English folk-dance Caller,
I could well be just the caller you need.
