Saw them too, they were rather good. The electric Bob Dylan’s of Morris.

I think they were my favourites, along with the trad Hammersmith. But the whole day is great because you get to see the different styles and traditions of Morris. The Madder Hill Molly from Carshalton, for example dance an East Anglian style. It was also interesting talking to some of the dancers about their attitude to mixed gender sides.
I did feel Morrised-out after 4 hours of watching the., though.
We went to see Nick Mohammed / Mr Swallow ar the Theatre Royal tonight. (Absolutely excellent, BTW - go if you get the chance)
