On reflection, it was me and Ann Mettam (then Franklin) watching Herga dancing Cotswold in Aylesbury in 1974 - Jemmers danced there on a tour with Herga later. Julian Pilling danced with Colne Royal.

To state the bleeding obvious, women dancing look different from men dancing. North West seems to have had a tradition of men's sides, women's sides and children's sides, but there are some movements in Cotswold that look as if they were intended to be performed by men rather than women...
