was launched in 1999 and brings together a stunning array of exceptional, international talents in a band who keep
tradition relevant and most definitely ‘made in England’ and gain rave receptions
for national touring.
African and Asian beats, guaranteed to set even the
most churlish foot a-tapping, kick in
as soon as the caller starts. English
tunes, African improvisations and driving bass grooves complete a mix to make
you strut the old figures in a way they don’t usually get strutted!

“I absolutely loved Roger & Boka
Halat. The totally different style of calling, dancing and rhythm is great” ShrewsburyFestival 2008 on eceilidh
“The workshop dealt with my doubts and
inhibitions - and at the evening event, for the absolutely first time in my
life. I felt the music and the rhythm of
the dance get to me and was lost in the pleasures of it. We didn't miss a
single dance
and the whole experience was totally
exhilarating” Glasbury Arts 2008
