Hi Mo

This probably isn't what you were after but I thought it was worth chucking into the pot that, in the past, champion clog dancers (probably particularly in Lancashire?) found their 'champion' status a way onto the music hall circuit and this, for some, resulted in a huge change in their lifestyle. I'm afraid I can't recall specific details at the moment, but I think Dan Leno was a champion clogger - perhaps Little Tich too? I'm sure others here will have more info, if you want more.
