Alexis Molly Dancing (58* d) RE: Molly Dancing 08 Feb 13


A lone voice perhaps, but Molly doesn't do anything for me I am afraid. I had the pleasure of watching Ouse Wash at Holmfirth Folk festival may be 10 or so years ago and was really impressed with the theatrical nature and atmosphere they produced, but since then it appears - in my opinion - to have gone down the route of so many border sides, less emphasis on dance and more on outfits. Slack border dancing but with funny arm movements -at it's worst.

Back when I first saw Ouse Wash, and I didn't have anything to compare them with, the standard of dance did stand out as being good.

However, I think none of the Molly that I have seen recently can compete, in standard, in their genre with, say the Witchmen, in Border, who are, in my humble opinion, the best Border side at present, even though they are not in the first flush of youth!
