Club Callers

At NFDG we are blessed with a set of superb club callers who voluntarily plan a programme of dances and teach them on our club nights.

Josh Catlin

Whilst Josh has only been a part of the folk community for a few years, he has quickly become involved in our club, not only as a caller but was also as our treasurer. He also enjoys dancing, joining the band on his guitar or fiddle on party nights and he was the secretary for IVFDF 2020 in Nottingham.

Graham Conran

Graham's easy style of calling is very popular in the club.
While Chairman he introduced the Core Dances concept which led to the club producing the first (and so far only) You-Tube video of Cary Ravitz's dance Andes Anomaly.

Janice Holland

A former secretary of the club, Janice is well known in folk circles nationally. She calls a wide range of English Country dances at Nottingham and other clubs too.

Malcolm Jowett

Malcolm started calling at the University of Nottingham and has a repertoire covering English Country Dance, English Ceilidh, American Contra and Squares. He is a regular caller at Nottingham and Loughborough clubs and at ceilidhs and barn dances in the East Midlands. His favourite style is the American Contra, he loves the energy and flow of these dances.
Malcolm has written or adapted some dances to be done by couples or singles. These are for the club's Virtual Dance sessions. Click here for the PDF.
