Will be watching that programme, you can bet on it! I went to a loca; gig last weekend by Hank Wangford with his trio- he is usually with the Lost Cowboys, I dont know if you have ever seen them but they are brilliant. The Coal Porters were boked for Feb but have cancelled sadly- they are another great band. I do miss my Cajun days.....<br /><br />H.xxxheartsofhampshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954911284894571193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-27402200201674540262012-12-06T15:25:37.110+00:002012-12-06T15:25:37.110+00:00Ada, the term is Molly Dancing, as opposed to Morr...Ada, the term is Molly Dancing, as opposed to Morris Dancing. They have similarities, but obviously great differences too! Men and women take part, lots of cross-dressing! There is a Molly, the 'fool' role and general spokes-person. Many dancers take part in both traditions, Nick, my music tutor is one such, and he also plays the music too! If you google Ouse Washes Molly Dancers you'll find our website and it gives the history and other fascinating info!<br /><br />Famous Actress? ho ho! If you blink you'll miss me! No, it was the dancers they were mainly interested in, and learning the Broom Dance. But you may catch me in my finery aongside Spiers and Boden in April!

Then Gog-Magogs (Cambridgeshire) came into being and did a similar costume but I THINK with green faces (not sure about this) so Ouse Washes have in the last year or so, tried to subtly change ours as everyone was starting to have the same look. Now we do a kind of Goth Wedding Guest vibe! Cocktails dresses in clashing colours, still some stripey tight and of course the black faces. I actually preferred our original look, but the consensus was that too many newer groups were taking on the 'look' and we wanted to keep it a bit different.
