An excellent day of dance yesterday, so of course I failed to take any photos… just the right weather (hot but not too hot, slight cooling breeze not windy, not wet), sides quite different in styles, appreciative audiences, and very pleasant music session in the pub afterwards.

RE: https://c.im/@OccasionalDucks/116345465998829573
Same goes for tomorrow’s Red Cuthbert Day of Dance at Bedford Fringe Festival, should any mastodonians happen to be there, though it’ll be a different mallard on a different melodeon… come and say “hi” if you like.

Just a day to go before Red Cuthbert Day of Dance, part of the Bedford Fringe Festival - five morris sides will be starting at the Faces on Silver Street at 1030, with various spots throughout the town until we finish at Riverside Square, 1530-1600. We’ll all be doing turns in the Quarry Theatre Garden between 1200 and 1330, and after the last dance spot there will be a music session in The Hidden Barrel.
If you’re local, do come and see us & our fellow dancers!
Red Cuthbert will be joined by Golden Hare, Letchworth Morris, Queen’s Oak and Wicket Brood.

A good time dancing yesterday, including busking our way through Bluebells for a massed dance - none of us having done it outside an Ale in about eight years - and my finally almost getting Bonny Green (no one actually really knows it, do they?), good crowd reactions, and a nice social afternoon afterwards.

If you’re going to the Bedford River Festival today, keep an eye out for morris dancing along the embankment, from 1130 until we can no longer hold the space against the crowds. All three of the town’s sides will be there - Red Cuthbert Morris, Hemlock Morris and the Bedford Morris Men.

We’re heading off to dance out in 20 minutes . We might be insane. I’m taking a rucksack full of chilled water rather than my usual couple of beers, mind.

While the news is full of by-election bull, this hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves - presumably today is a good day to bury bad news.
More run away urbanisation, more pollution from power generation, more water demand in a “water-stressed area”, more construction traffic to choke the roads, followed by more car-dependency for access to jobs there, and another habitat concreted over.
I would quite like to hit something.

It is our monthly night to go and play tunes in the pub, and I’m looking forward to that as the pub is quite cool. I’ve still decided it is officially too hot to play the pipes, even if they’re just smallpipes.
Anyway, if you’re near Bedford come down to the Welly and play English / European folk music if you like, from 1930 until we run out of enthusiasm.
Recognise me by my melodeon mounted mallard. -
I listened to that episode of Rare Earth on a nice #FakeCommute by the river - here’s photographic evidence that #BedfordIsntShit

The session has come around again already! Last Tuesday of the month, 7.30pm at The Wellington Arms, Wellington Street, Bedford (UK) - all welcome, generally a mixture of English, Northumbrian and European folk music. I know there are some local-ish people on here, so why not come along?
(Because 11 and a half hours isn’t enough notice you say? Fair point.)#Folk #FolkMusic #Music #TradMusic #Trad #FolkSession #BedfordUK

12 up for Cuthbert’s Brawl at practice last night - not quite the Chiltern Hundreds, but the more the merrier! Give us a shout if you fancy giving it a go :-)

Please pay attention to this important message from our squire. I'm not sure how it took 49 weeks for me to get around to posting it!

For some reason I couldn't add an alt text. It is a video of a man with a beard saying "Join Red Cuthbert and talk shit in the pub afterwards" and then cuts to a brass plaque saying "Bullshit corner" with a Red Cuthbert beermat tucked under the edge.

Join Red Cuthbert Morris and have surreal encounters with giant unidentified rodents!
Practice is at 8pm on Thursdays near the middle of #BedfordUK

Yesterday we danced for the Bedford Bamberg Association at a private function and performed one of our dances with an all male set and music, which we think is the first ever appearance of the Red Cuthbert Morris Men - though they’ve not often been announced/advertised by the people we are dancing for! We didn’t get any photos of that though, so you can’t prove it happened…

Not been keeping track of what we've been up to this summer? There's a roundup on our website that you can check out now: https://redcuthbert.uk/archives/2488

Great time dancing at a private function before practice last night - hopefully we’re all set for dancing the Marston Vale Line tomorrow now!
(See previous post for places/times)

Yesterday we finally broke out Captain Lanoe’s Skirmish, which we’ve been learning on-and-off recently- and while it’s not perfect it is a really fun dance. We even managed to get a video of it so you can check it out here:

Great day of dance - photos and hopefully video to follow over the next few days. Meanwhile the musicians are wondering why there’s no one else in this end of the pub!

#RedCuthbertMorris has been having a cracking day dancing at #BedfordRiverFestival with the other two #MorrisDancing sides from #BedfordUk

We keep banging on about the day of dance on the 27th, but we're also dancing tomorrow at the River Festival - along with other local morris dancers we'll be finding space wherever we can along the Embankment so keep an eye out for us!

You don't have to be a dancer to be part of the #RedCuthbertMorris family - as well as musicians, we always have openings for roadies and adoring fans such as in the example pictured!
