Our Wizzzard has created a video montage and put up a brief blog post for last weekend’s Bedfordshire Day of Dance as part of Bedfringe. I’m quite glad I’m not the Wizzzard any more so don’t have to do such things.
That said, if you want to see it, it is here: https://redcuthbert.uk/archives/2965

I’ve just found out that Liam Robinson is playing again, and will be appearing in a trio at the Day of Lincolnshire Folk.
He had stopped around 2015, just as I started, due to illness and there was a whip round in his aid when I went to Melodeons and More, one of the first workshops I attended. A year or so later I picked up all three of his albums and the CDs among the few that lived in my car so they were always available when commuting. Great playing on both one row four stop and D/G, including Lincolnshire tunes that are now among my own favourites to play such as The Louth Quickstep and The Quickstep From Louth (imaginative names, huh?)
The last I heard he was still unable to play, but working tuning/reparing church organs.
So to say I’m pleased is an understatement :-) :-)
Seems I will have to try rearranging my plans so I can make it to Leadenham this year!In other news, playing and dancing all day today with Red Cuthbert as part of Bedfringe (Bedford Fringe Festival) and tomorrow for the St Cuthbert’s Street Festival… busy busy.

Don’t be fooled, accept no imitations: this is not #RedCuthbertMorris
It is the #ChilternHundreds, and right good they are too

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

Cracking day of dance in St Albans, but we’re, well, cream crackered!

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…

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:

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!

We’ve been a bit quiet here haven’t we?
Well, if you’re anywhere near Bedford come and see our almost-entirely-unrehearsed mummers play on Thursday. It is going to be epic. Timings will be increasingly approximate as the evening goes on!#RedCuthbertMorris #MummersPlay #FolkTheatre #FolkArts #Folk #MorrisDancing
