Pete and Marj come from the Cotswolds and are well known on the folk dance scene. They have called widely at clubs, festivals and for dance weekends and have published books on their specialisms.

They have a long and close association with Halsway Manor and with the continued development of the teenage Downfielders Band that Pete started twenty years ago.

With their great sense of fun and their organisational ability, they return to create another memorable festive season at Halsway.
