the village inn & Railway Inn, killay

We danced at 2 splendid pubs yesterday evening in conditions that were slightly cooler than they were on Wednesday with us giving a performance almost as electrifying as the immense storm that we had then! However it was still incredibly warm, but hey, we’re not complaining!

We started at the Killay Village Square and entertained a group of people drinking outside the pub there, and a crowd that came and went from the Co-Op! We were able to put two sets of six up to perform dances that included Riggs of Doom and Curly Boar, as well as Hunt the Squirrel, Sheriff’s Ride, and Ring of Bells, all of which looked pretty tidy from the photographer’s viewpoint.

A quick, short drive found us at a very busy Railway Inn. We could not dance immediately due to a pub quiz, but that gave us ample time to go investigate the Sweyn’s Ale that they have brewed specifically for our forthcoming 60th Anniversary Ale which is being held during the weekend of 4-7th June. The Sweyn’s Ale is superb at 4.5%, giving notes on the palate of slight citrus, and with just the right balance of the 4 varieties of hops contained within it! You as members of the public can enjoy this ale as much as us, although be warned, there was quite a queue of Sweyn’s Ey Morris eager to buy this golden nectar to assuage their considerable thirsts!!!
​
We did several dances of which Grenadiers, Y Gaseg Eira, Vandals and Curly Boar were the highlights, before the midges started taking chunks out of us, and banishing us to the comfort of the back bar room to chat and socialise. A great evening out.
