A good evening in Geddington last night, by the Star (next to the Eleanor Cross). We are the ones in white, and the side in red is Hips N Haws. We have danced together on several occasions now, always a pleasure.
A lovely evening tonight in Ashley - we have never, apparently, danced at a pub here before, although we did dance at a fete 18 years ago! Thank you to the George for the sandwiches and encouraging people to come and watch, and to everyone who came to see us.
Very good to appear on the square in Raunds, as part of the 2011 Raunds Festival, with Moulton Morris (above, with umbrella) and Rockingham Rapper (above, in black).
Two things of historical interest about Raunds: in 1905 Raunds bootmakers marched to London in protest at the level of their wages. And, in 1800, there were riots against the Enclosure Act. A local clergyman responded to this by writing verse in Latin.
It is our tradition to welcome May by dancing in Market Harborough town centre early on May 1st. And so, here we are this morning, between 630 and 730. Thank you if you were in the small but perfectly formed (and larger than last year!) audience.
