The Wharf, Welford

We missed seeing the Norton owners' club this year - hope they are ok! Our visit to the Wharf usually coincides with a run that they make to the same place. But we did still have a generous audience.

Here we are dancing Lollipop Man. We did other dances too but my camera battery was flat by then.

The Star, Geddington

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.

The George, Ashley

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.

Dog and Gun, Walton

Monday 9th May. Our first Monday night out.

Raunds Festival

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.

Market Harborough, May 1st

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.

Programme for 2011

Our programme for 2011 is ready! On Monday nights, from May - September (except August), we "dance out", in various locations around north Northamptonshire and South Leicestershire. We have some bookings on Saturdays as well, and are pleased to have the chance to support Macmillan collectors in Market Harborough on a couple of Saturdays. Our dancing out programme also includes a midsummer dance at Billesdon with Bakanalia and other sides, and this year includes an invitation to Bakanalia's 20th Anniversary tour in September.

Details of our programme are on this website.
