STATEMENT FROM ENGLISH FOLK DANCE AND SONG SOCIETY

Gorgeous photo, I spy some Belles! I danced at Ickwell Maypole with Letchworth and it was a glorious May morning 🌸🌞🎶

The ultimate in #acapella from last weekend - a Sheffield stage taken over by Melrose Quartet/Wilsons/Culverake/Narthen/Marilla Homes while they & all of us raised the roof at the #RaiseYourVoice harmony singing weekend 🎶
Sheer joy!

Hello folkies, friends, musical adventurers, and people that want to give me a gig!
Right. I’m here. What’s going on? Is it nice? Can I eat it, snog it, or dance on or about its grave?

Word of the Day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Made some new friends last weekend 🐄🐄🐄

John Ball YouTube video by Jack in a Barrel - Topic

Hi, lovely to be here! We’re Jack in a Barrel from Bedfordshire. We sing a mix of traditional and modern folk songs, often in six-part harmony, and we drink gin.
Here’s our version of #johnball by #sydneycarter youtu.be/p35c6zNsgZg?...

Me too 😍

A musician standing in shallow water at the edge of the sea, playing for eight morris dancers who are all holding sticks and have their trouser legs rolled up, while dancing in the sea. They are all reflected in the water.

Let my first post be the full version of my profile banner photo. It’s not actually my photo, but I’m on it, and it’s a fun memory from a lovely, sunny day spent dancing with #LetchworthMorris at #Cromer.
