Visiting England In June


Recommended Posts

It looks like I'll be touring the Cotswolds the last week in June and first week in July, playing for my Morris dance group.

 

We expect to be dancing with English sides on the weekends; I'm looking for fun music events during the week in between, when we'll all be traveling on our own. Any ideas? Festivals, English sessions, workshops, etc?

 

And are there any English sides that might want to connect with a rowdy bunch of boys from Washington DC?

Get in touch with the guys who do the concertina evening in Yorkshire at the Royal in Dungworth.......Mark Davies used to be point man.

 

If it worked out, you would have tons of fun. They are very welcoming ( but don't take a screw driver with you....they will explain !)

Jim,

If you're in the Derbyshire area it will be the perfect time to check out the many well dressings in the various smaller towns and villages. Some of the most amazing art you'll ever see made with nothing more than flower petals and natural materials.

Morris and Concertina is very well received among UK 'SteamPunk' groups. (A sort of sci-fi Victoriana community. Lots of dressing up and weird technology but a very 19th century feel to a lot of it.)

 

I'm sure if you turn up to an event in the Summer they'd ply you with tea and gin. *winks*

That's helpful, thanks!
