White Horse Folk Festival

(And another late catchup on an event your scribe missed.)

The White Horse Folk Festival is a small festival in late summer. It starts with those Morris sides that can make it dancing on top of the venerable White Horse itself.

The weather was a little unpromising, but I think I recognise Icknield Way, Cornucopia and the Garston Gallopers amongst the fray.

After all the fun of the top of the hill, a little lunchtime dance somewhere more sheltered.

Seacourt – no, Prince of Wales

(First in a series of late reports on events your humble scribe missed).

We were supposed to be having a quiet evening dance out by ourselves at the Seacourt, but the dreaded Covid struck. Luckily, the Prince of Wales at Shippon could host us at short notice.

I must say, it does look sunny.


Dance…
… and show
