Yes, out on the new year because they were hard up. Did Sharp and his palls tell they were really fertility dances? And if so what did they say?

Saw some excellent Northwest yesterday from Chorlton Green, Ringhey, Fylde, Newbrough and Poynton Jemmers and some really exciting Border from Powder Keg (Whalley Bridge). Northwest seems to have something of simple working class celebration in the face of the hard life of mills and mines at laest in its 19C history.

How old is the oldest Northwets?
