The side enjoyed dancing again at this year’s festival. A few, Sian, Kevin, Di and Paul went to the Friday evening Blowzabella gig which was good but not perhaps as good as when they started out in 1980 when they produced a wall of sound which threatened to knock you over. I think it was the absence of the two Hurdy Gurdies that caused this notion! Camping facilities were good.
The side performed in the barn from noon until 2pm doing a variety of Cotswold Morris dances but were also able to do Y Gaseg Eira (Welsh Morris dance from Nantgarw) and we aired our own dance The Curly Boar/ Y Baedd Cyrliog which still requires a bit of practice to make it perfect. It would be good to be able to perform outside and not be hidden away. We invited willing members of the audience to have a go at Brighton Camp and we found one of Chippenham Morris Men joining in! We saw Paula & Ian Jones from Carreg Las Morris and many other worthies from years passed. Here’s a selection of pics that Paul took of the day. There can be no other festival that boasts views as good as this one!
