agreeing heartily with hexham morrisman above as regards keeping fit, also was one of the reasons i started doing it.

it was a way of getting exercise, along with with music i could enjoy.

i didn't want to do line dancing-'achey,breaky crap+ a cowboy suit' or popmobility- all banging & shouting 'music'.

had a lot of fun, sweat & beers during my 'folkmobility' years!

(9 is this the right way to spell 'doing'- looks like 'boing!]
