Other Iberian SCD Events

Below there are notes about some special events from the past (apart from the Annual Iberian Weekends; for past Iberian Weekends, see this page; information about the upcoming Iberian Weekends, the big annual event in Iberia, is on this page)

The " 2025 February Weekend in Lisbon", organised by the Lisbon-Lapa group was held from Friday 21st February to Sunday 23rd February. It was the second edition of this "low-cost" event, and like the first edition, was held at school gyms in Lisbon and had live music by Benoît Gibson (piano) and Tomás Gonçalves (fiddle) .

The "February Weekend in Lisbon", organised by the Lisbon-Lapa group was held on Saturday 25th February and Sunday  26th February 2023 was a new, non-residential event which may become an annual event from 2025 onwards. The February Weekend was held in gyms at a school and included classes on Saturday afternoon (14h-16h30) with Raphaëlle Orgeret and Mathias Ferber, a ball in the early evening (18h-21h) with live music by Benoît Gibson (piano) and Tomás Gonçalves (fiddle), and classes on Sunday morning from 10h15-12h30. The price was very accessible (35 euros) and there were reductions for young people :) Here 's a video of the last dance at the ball https://youtu.be/IW5o3Yl8krs?feature=shared

The "March Weekend in Lisbon", which was held on Saturday 12th March and  Sunday 13th March 2022, was a great success. You can view some videos and photos on a sub-page of the telheiras scd site The ceilidh and the workshop are well-documented, the rest not so much! We hope to add more photos and videos in due course. All the videos uploaded so far are unlisted, and they are well tucked away on that subpage.  Nonetheless, if you appear in the videos or photos and would prefer us to remove them, just let us know at suerog(a)mail.telepac.pt changing the (a) to @
