Sunday at Bromyard got a little damp in the afternoon before dancing had to be abandoned.
We tried to shelter, but the gazebo couldn't hold off the rain as we watched Gidderskins having a paddle at the Rose and Lion...

If you've thought "I'm not a folkie, would I fit in with a morris side?" then don't worry!
Our musicians can help by channelling Hawkwind to invoke the Spirit Of The Age...
It's not all work either. Particularly when we head over to mainland Europe we like to soak up the local way of life!
