Lester Bailey Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I have just added some pictures of the Aldbury Morris Concertina Band taken at yesterday's Westminster Morris Men's Day of Dance to my site. Pictures are here.
Animaterra Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Wonderful photos, Lester! I'm very curious about the underground dancing- what is Wookey Hole and why do they dance there? Allison
Lester Bailey Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 Wonderful photos, Lester!ThanksI'm very curious about the underground dancing- what is Wookey Hole and why do they dance there? All ther is to know about Wookey cves can be found here. We were dancing their as part of our annual weekend away. It was a spooky place to dance but the acoustics were truly wonderful.
Helen Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Lester, Great pictures. Looks like you are having fun. Gratified to see the piano accordion player! Keep on dancing. Do you dance at all or are you always busy playing? Helen
JimLucas Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Do you dance at all or are you always busy playing? I have seen him dance.
RustyBits Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Looks like a smashing good time, Lester! Wonderful photos with all those concertinas. Thanks for sharing. I'll be that little courtyard at the abbey is a great place to dance.
Jane Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 What a great group of friends there. It looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for showing us some fine instruments too!
Henk van Aalten Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Gratified to see the piano accordion player! Have a look at these accordeon players ! (Sorry, could not find a similar picture with concertina-players)
JimLucas Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Have a look at these accordeon players !(Sorry, could not find a similar picture with concertina-players) Well, that looks like a case of ordinary theft, though maybe using two accordions makes it extraordinary. Concertinas are used only for "petty larceny" (small theft). Can you guess what they use to commit "grand larceny"?
John Nixon Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Hi Friends, I was very pleased to see the wonderful photos and took me back to the 1930's when my father and I were members of the Bolton English Concertina Band. Father took me to see the Four Fair Quartet several times. They were very good performers. JOHN NIXON.
