What's an IVFDF? ================ An exciting and dynamic festival held at a different university each year. You don't have to be a student to go, just vaguely young or energetic. IVFDF stands for 'Intervarsity Folk Dance Festival'. The keyword is FESTIVAL: basically, hundreds of people descending on Sheffield for three days and two nights of intense dancing, drinking, playing music and singing, until they are unbelievably exhausted. There is the option of sleep for those who can bear to miss something. Whats On: Friday ================ Hekety with caller Gordon Potts ------------------------------- Dance the night away to this young Sheffield band, with driving energy, strong rhythm and improvisation. Alterations with Geoff Cubit ---------------------------- If you like a challenge, this is your chance to try some more complex dances. Whats On: Saturday ================== Display Ceilidh & Open Mic -------------------------- From the most polished performance to the ridiculously bizarre, this is your opportunity to get together & perform be it dancing, singing or playing. Morris Tour ----------- A poorly disguised pub crawl for morris dancers and those with strong livers. Martin Carthy ------------- One of the world's greatest guitar players and singers. Prepare to be dazzled. Bedlam with Nick Walden ----------------------- This fiery, cutting edge band, focusing on the English tradition, lead the ceilidh James Gray & Keith Smith with David McQueen ------------------------------------------- For anyone who wants to dance Scottish style or just likes men in kilts. HoraceX ------- High Energy late night dancing to HoraceX. Exotic, sexy, transcendent, funky and irresistibly danceable. Whats On: Sunday ================ Final Ceilidh ------------- Push yourself to the limit and dance one more time. Or play in the scratch band led by members of Hekety. Whats On: Other Events / Activities =================================== Workshops --------- An excess of dance, music, morris and song. Plus the less predictable events, from juggling to pie eating. Sessions -------- Play and sing anywhere you want around the festival or in local pubs. Then informal all night sessions and impromptu dancing possibilities. Sleeping -------- Bring a sleeping bag and we'll provide some floor. If you just can't cope with this, you'll have to pull someone who lives here or, alternatively, get a list of B&Bs from us or the website.
