Thread Name: Folklore: woad. Caesar. Celts
Subject: RE: Folklore: woad. Caesar. Celts
Just a footnote. Yesterday I found myself at an 18th birthday party in Chicago Rock Cafe, Swansea (daughter of a friend, I'm not that young myself!).

This party was fancy dress, and we had

1. Anthony & Cleopatra (i.e a Roman)
2. A Chicago gangster, complete with white braces and spats
3. An ancient Celt, with blue face paint

Who could resist this opportunity?

After the presents and speechs I performed a rendition of the Woad song (Shouted rather than sung, because of the ongoing rock music) complete with these supporters.

I was unable to find a Saxon warrior, but a tall girl dressed as an Indian squaw stood in.

If I can find a picture, I will post it.
