Pre covid I was working the bar late and told we would be the last stop for a morris dance troupe. I think I'd only worked there for a couple of shifts but luckily they all ordered the same beer as I also had to film. @haymarketrapper #haymarketrapper youtu.be/F6Tk211DVVo?...

Haymarket Rapper made their debut in 2014 and celebrated 10 years during 2024 - although we started dancing in the 1970s and 80s. We've made a series of short videos for each year of dancing (or Zoom chats during COVID!) Here's how we started. #HaymarketRapper #RapperSwordDance

Recently Haymarket Rapper celebrated its 10th anniversary. We thought we'd make a documentary featuring clips showing 10 years of #rappersworddancing - but we had a technical glitch and the tape got chewed up.

Added some hashtags to my profile. Hmm, wonder if dance sides would benefit from adding their side's hashtag, hashtag for their dance style and hashtag for the Morris organisation they belong to. #RapperSwordDance #MorrisFed #HaymarketRapper
