Boldwood is a band forged with a passion: to rescue forgotten dance anthems from dusty manuscripts and put them back to work on the dance floor!


Boldwood

They were born in 2003 when accordionist Becky Price was looking for new tunes in the Library in Cecil Sharp House, London. She was drawn to an elegant, locked bookcase containing mysterious leather-bound volumes.

Wearing the regulation white gloves, she leafed through the fragile, often handwritten manuscripts and discovered a treasury of lost English dance music. Copying out her favorites she gradually realised what these lost tunes really needed...... a new band!

Don’t let the thoughts of dusty manuscripts fool you, the tunes have been given an energetic 21st century revamp and they will be one of the dance festival highlights.
