GUEST,The Horse's Mouth Folk at the Olympics (20) Folk at the Olympics 09 Dec 05


Many people have commented on the fact that when hosting the Olympics most countries will happily grace the opening ceremony with their own national music or dancing but the authorities here in England would have a problem with that. "Morris dancing?" they would sneer, "Heaven preserve us from such things"
    There is a solution to this if we could get them to witness it, how do I, or you get the message across? Who should we approach? Please help me here. The solution is simple: Put on Black Swan Rapper. They are young and energetic - so much so that their dancing is best described as a cross between traditional English dance and Russian Gymnastics. Those of you who have seen them in action will realise I do not exaggerate. If any aspect of our tradition could connect with the athleticism of the Olympics, this one can.
