PLAYING ITCH
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYING ITCH?....Oh, that is what we got, the four
of us....Leif & Carita.... Bosse & Birgitta
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We love to play for entertainment, but we rather
play for dancing, generally not more than four hours...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The folkmusic group PLAYING ITCH - SPELKLÅDA (in swedish) consists of two families,
Carita & Leif Wallin and Birgitta & Bo Björkman.
We are playing folks music mostly from Södermanland. But
we try anything at least twice....We are allso members of RfG
(Rekarne Folkdans Society) and naturally also members of Södermanlands
Spelmansförbund.
We play for entertainment but
we would rather play for dancing for that is what we like the
most. We play for weddings, celebrations or just merrymaking.
In our repertoire you find waltz, schottis, polka, mazurka, hambo,
polska, gånglåtar, marches and gift tunes. We also
play engelska, (kind of European square dance) and other types
of 'family dances'.
We also play for folkdance groups during Midsummer festivities
Also we have a Folks dance "choreographer" in Birgitta
Björkman. All in the group can dance Swedish old time dances.
We could show you or even teach some strange swedish dances!
For engagement in Sweden call Leif & Carita tel
016-212 90. We will be traveling in Minnesota with another
group from Sörmland called Beccy's group. Take a look at
both of us together!
