I hear the train a-comin'

So, at the end of August I ran away to Whitby for the folk festival (again). I've written about it here before, and... well... much the same sort of stuff happened. I did some dancing, some playing music, some listening to music, some drinking, some eating and lots of catching up with friends.

Flash clog dancing, the generalised idiocy of rapper teams, and a surprise from Coventry )

clogs, folk festivals, folkdancing, whitby, rapper

Surely someone must have filmed it - but a quick scour of Facebook didn't even turn me up any pictures :(

They weren't actually processing as a train, just ambling - the Hogwarts Express featured various wives, girlfriends, hangers on, etc as well as dancers. Did I mention it was quite a long train? Very impressive.

It wasn't Hoddesdon Crownsmen's wives, it was the wives of the High Level Ranters IIRC - and the Dad has some sort of pics of the train but only on the home PC, social networking being a non-starter round here.

Ah, I thought he said he didn't get any good photos of the train. I wonder where I got the Crownsmen from? I'll correct it.

And I forgot --DO listen to the Teacups live if they're anywhere near you. They are folk at its best.
