Thursday 5th March 2015 - Market Harborough Tangent Club

A demonstration to members of the Market Harborough Tangent Club was a roaring success - a brief back ground to Morris Dancing delivered by Squire David Ball was followed by the Side demonstrating several dances including 'Constant Billy' , 'Black Joke' , and 'Smash the Windows' with David and Secretary Pauline sharing a Duet.  (Apparently it was David's first time for this one)

There was no problem when it came to getting the audience involved as everyone wanted to join in. With everyone kitted out with bells, hankies and sticks there was participation in 3 dances  "Room for the Cuckolds" and "Shepherds Hay" with "Bonny Green Garters" to finish. All agreed it was a 'Fun night' We have to hope there maybe some interest to follow on.
Goes to show how much fun Morris Dancing can be.

Thanks to the members of the Tangent Club for inviting us - we all thoroughly enjoyed it as the videos show

Clueless with Julie Mayer - BBC Radio Leicester Sunday 1st March 2015

We will go to any lengths to attract attention to our cause of recruiting new dancers. Pauline was quick to take up the offer from BBC Radio Leicester for hiding a clue by her Oil Tank which is disguised as a church - complete with clock tower. Never one to miss an opportunity Pauline was kitted out in full bells and Baldricks  waiting for the arrival of on the road presenter Julie Mayer to find the next clue. When Julie arrived about 11.30 Pauline soon had her kitted up for a quick 'stick dance' - with a very short burst of  music provided by Rowena and Bill. The clue was found and as Julie fought her way out of her Baldricks 

Pauline got in a plug for our recruitment drive and the promise of a telephone interview on Radio Leicester - so well done 'P'
