looking forward to it already although really supposed to be at choir practice... damn...
Well, you can sing along to the Morris Men - broaden your repertoire a bit!
might have known they'll be turning up... the Broadwoods I suppose? They get everywhere (well they were at beer fest on Sunday, they danced at my parents' wedding reception - not that I was there)

Maybe the Broadwoods, although I think another lot will be there to dance.
One of the Broadwood blokes told me at the beer festival that they may just turn up to play some music.
We'll see.........

Believe it or not, we had a group of Morris Men come and give a demonstration in the street in a small village near us in France; the bar is owned by a Welsh couple and they arranged it. There was a full busload of dancers and some wives - some from Belgium - the group was formed in Suffolk but some members moved abroad.
The second half was members of the audience taking part (and breaking a few sticks in the process). A local woman was conscripted to translate the often bawdy explanation before each dance. Even the French loved it!!!

Then you should go to Maypoles to Mistletoe and find out why there are female Morris Dancers...

I was blaming her for the creation of Magog, not to enlist you...
