Sweyns Ey Morris danced at the Reverend James Pub and the Loughor Boat Club last night during an evening which was sunny and dry but chilled by the 20-30mph wind that was blowing! We had eleven dancers and three musicians out and managed to draw out about ten people from their houses who were very appreciative of our dancing.
The Boat Club is a splendid place to dance, being situated on the banks of the Loughor river. It was a place that the Romans called Leucarum and they had a small fortlet here guarding a ford. The tide was low when we arrived but turned quickly and didn’t take long to fill with treacherous, swirling waters. A marquee tent consumed the usual dance area outside and we were asked if we’d like to dance in the back room. We took up this kind offer although there was no audience due to a big pool tournament taking place in the main bar, so we ran through a variety of dances and used the opportunity to test bed our new dance Curly Boar which we perfected after a couple of attempts! Here are some pics of the evening, a short video clip of Di playing fiddle, and the obligatory sunset shot! A good evening out, and in!
