​GOWER HERITAGE CENTRE CIDER & CHEESE FEST SAT 16th MAY
We were invited to entertain at the Heritage Centre in Parkmill and so we had 11 dancers and 3 musicians turn out for this goodly event. Di & Kevin played a few folky tunes on the open mic outside before we did two dance sets, starting in the Courtyard indoors as it was raining outside. We danced British Grenadiers, Riggs of Doom, Vandals of Hammerwich, Postman’s Knock and Bonnie Green Garters. One lady in the audience could be seen singing along to the latter dance tune (an incognito dancer perhaps?) and another called Lesley celebrated her birthday so she was treated to us singing the time honoured song!
Richie Saunders called Nigel up onto the stage to acknowledge our performances at the Heritage Centre over the last decade and to tell us how the barrel of cider he is brewing for us is coming along! Nigel responded by donating one of our fab new badges to Richie & telling of our forthcoming 60th Anniversary weekend planned for 4-7th June.
The rain having ceased we went outside to dance a bit more where we did Curly Boar, Valentines, Sherrif’s Ride, Badby Shooting and Bonnie Green to finish off the dancing, although some, it is told, went on to party a bit and drink some of the wonderful cider that was available! It’s all happening down here mun!
