Bank Holiday Monday was the day we'd chosen to visit the Chippenham Folk Festival this year (with some of our members appearing with Knickerbocker Glory on Saturday and Alton Community Choir on Sunday)
We were there in good time and able to see the acts on stage before us: Mr Wilkin's Shilling
Island Cloggies
For our spot we did The Wain
Alton Morris
and The Rose
After us came Flash Company
Then the excellent young Silver Flame
followed by Boghoppers and Bushbeaters
We then moved to the High Street where we followed Sgt Musgrave's Dance
This set included Beau Knot
We shared the spot with Flash Company
As we went for lunch, I think this was English Miscellany doing rapper at Borough Parade
After lunch came the procession, with our photographer carrying our banner, then we legged it back up through the town to the Rose & Crown, where we shared a spot with England's Glory
Our dances here included Great Wishford
After we'd finished we were followed by Westrefelda Morris
Our final spot was at the Butter Cross, where we followed the Flag & Bone Gang
We shared out spot with Wolf's Head & Vixen
We did Nutting
Wolf's Head & Vixen did a turn
We did Sally's Dance
Before finishing with the Rose
The advantage (?) of being the squire's grandson is that you get to tag on the end...
