The main events will be on the weekend 25^th to 28^th May - the Spring Bank Holiday weekend. Our overseas guests this year will be:

Gruppo Folkloristico Agilla e Trasimeno

from Castiglione del Lago, Umbria, Italy. MSG danced at their 29th festival in 2006. The dancers are all very young - we think the group ranks as the best place in Castiglione for boys to meet girls, so all the youngsters join! There is a photograph on the new flyer. They have a website at www.trasinet.com/agilla which is in Italian but has some good photographs.

Tahditto-Mat Finnish Folk Dance Group

Our Finnish guests are from Jokioinen which is north-west of Helsinki. We first met them at Europeade in 2006. Again, they appear very young! There is a photograph on the new flyer - the two girls in red at top right. Their dancing is Baltic but with a Russian element as well. They have a website at www.tahdittomat.fi - unfortunately it is all in Finnish!

STOP PRESS!! Also appearing will be our “regulars” – the dancers from Uplands Junior School, Bexleyheath!!

For tickets and/or more details of either event email us at festival@msg.org.uk.
