Second spot down and another hearty meal, and some local #FolkMusic to help us while the evening away. Germans really appreciate #Morris!

First of four dance outs done. A tad warm, but we have badges!

A nice heavy meal before we start dancing… oops? Really nice though, at Schlenkerla brewery in Bamberg…

Off to Wrestlingworth with Red Cuthbert Morris for the last dance out of our summer season (in the UK!). Good weather for it!

Finally danced again at practice last night after about five months off following a strained Achilles tendon - twice through teaching/leading Deformed Rabbit (our version of Tinners’) then one and a half times through fairly vigorous Upton/Chingford stick dances.
Surprisingly unbroken, and quite pleased with that :-)

Lovely - my reaction when I hear/read the title is to think of this dance & rather different style of playing https://youtu.be/HFmUDn5KFac

It is a month until Red Cuthbert Morris will be dancing in Bamberg! Southern Germans, Bavarians, Bohemians, Central Europeans, we will be dancing in the Maximilian Platz at 11am on 9 September, and at a brewery the afternoon before, and local hostelries both evenings (ask where and I’ll try to look it up). Come and see us if you like, and tell your friends!

Red Cuthbert Morris is performing at Bedfringe tonight, how on earth has that come around so quickly and why am I still not fit to dance?

I no longer do Red Cuthbert's social media promotion, but the current Wizzzard has left me holding the YouTube account (such as it is). I managed to get a couple of videos of other sides at the St Neot's Day of Dance last month, and have just put the first of them up:

Upton (Chingford) Stick Dance a couple of times through on an ?8kg Hohner Ouverture is certainly a work out for the left arm. I may end up looking like a lopsided gorilla.

The side is fuelling up for St Neots Day of Dance - come find Red Cuthbert if you are around and say hello, I’ll be the one with the #melodeon!

"Cool as folk: why Britain’s young rebels are embracing ancient rites"
Is this renewed interest in #FolkTraditions part of a repaganisation of Britain? In case of #MorrisDance, it's the wild, animistic aesthetic of #BorderMorris that's growing, rather than the white shirts and hankies of #CotswoldMorris.

Discovered today in the process of removing our old fireplace. Part of a set of local Oxford postcards that had slipped down behind the fire surround! #morrisdance
In case anyone is interested, there’s a snip of video on the side facebook page - https://fb.watch/hN3n9u8XNC/
We just did one quick, messy dance as the weather was horrible!
