Concerina sighting on Clog TV last night

[michael sam wild]

Ali Andeson in the Flash Dance in Newcastle.

 

I wonder if it will catch on or just be a 'Flash Dance in the Pan'?

 

Nice archive material thoh.

Looks like some nice clogging, but the audience doesn't seem to have a clue.

No way to hear the precision percussion of the clogs with all that clapping going on.

In the BBC4 program with all their kit (microphones, cameras, editing etc) the clog sounds come through much better and the background noise was cut back.

But it's sad to see the interviews they did with shoppers before the clog mob started, where no-one they spoke to knew anything more about clog dancing than to think it must be Dutch.

I liked the guy who thought they meant Crocs those horrible pink things!
