Good night at the Insomaniacs Ball - we didn’t stick it out to the bitter end as I’d hoped we would, but left some time around 1am, as not only were our dancers tiring (and busking nearly everything as there’s very little Cotswold we actually know!) but the numbers were thinning (probably 2/3 of the proper Cotswold dancers left before us) as a hard core settled into grind out the more obscure dances until dawn, and most of the musicians had left too so we were being asked to play things we didn’t know and then having to scratch around for someone who did. At that point discretion seemed the better part of valour.
Definitely a fun experience, and good for my “playing along quietly with things I don’t really know” skills.
While we only stayed a couple of hours later than most ales, it felt a bit different and if your a morris dancer wishing striking distance of Long Clawson and haven’t been you should certainly consider giving it a go.
Mild disappointment that the excellent cheese board didn’t include Long Clawson cheese though. :-P

About half an hour until we leave for the Insomaniacs Ball - because what better than an all-night session of Cotswold morris when you, um, barely dance/play any Cotswold? Fingers crossed it is going to be #Epic!

Wonderful Saturday in Buxton celebrating Chapel-en-le-Frith Morris's 50th birthday at their Day(s) of dance!
Didn't manage to get any pictures of Powderkegs as I was busy dancing or drumming, but here are some of the others that we shared spots with, or caught during the show dances at the end. Lots of smiles despite everyone being drenched several times.
More photos to follow.

Now seems like as good time a time as any to do an #Introduction post as we've been on here a couple of weeks.
We are an #inclusive #MorrisDancing side based in Bedford (UK), open to all ages, genders and ethnicities as #FolkDancing is for anyone..
We dance #BorderMorris, and some #CotswoldMorris, plus our own creations. We try to bring joy through our displays of #FolkDance and #FolkMusic.This group photo was taken at our recent #Ale (co-hosted with Golden Hare Morris).
