We danced at the third annual Golden Pot Folk Day. Unlike the previous years' dodgy weather, this was a scorcher, especially dancing at the front of the pub to attract passing traffic.
There were a number of sides present, but it was Basing Clog Morris who were before us at the front
together with their band
Soaking up the sun - or flapping the skirts in a vain attempt to cool down between dances
Despite the heat, their kicks were high
Then it was our turn - Beau Knot
The Street Dance
and Uptails
Time for a breather and a pint before we headed for the garden, catching the tail end of the Four Marks Folk Orchestra before we were on.
We did our "Chippenham Arena" set - The Wain
Alton Morris
and The Rose
at the end of which the band were joined by 2 grandsons (each with a grandfather in the band and a grandmother dancing)
And little Archie was lined up for his first Minden Rose group photo.
