Up to Upton

 

Lassington Oaks Show dance at uptown upon Severn Folk Festival, Kings head arena

Morris Season starts TODAY

On a cold and misty morning a strange hoard of people made their way up May hill in Gloucestershire, The Mist was thick, occasional disturbed by the thin beam of a torch, or the ghostly glow of a High Visibility Jacket.  The masses approached from all angles, and with no apparent pattern or order, grouped near the trees which stand huddled in a circle at the Peak of the hill.

St Georges Day

Lassington Oak Morris Men at the Café René

The bunting was up, the flags were out. It was Saint George’s day and Lassington were heading to the Café René in Gloucester for a rendezvous with the assembled might of Stroud Morris.

Kits Coty

The Kits Coty weekend got going on Friday night with a session at the Swann Inn in Maidstone with lots of tunes and ale as you would expect great fun had by all.

Mumming

2013 Mumming was a great success, with the highlights including the International Mummers convention held in Gloucester, which was a weekend of Mumming fun,  and the Wicks Court Wassail which was as always a special evening.
