Will Fly Stepdancing - how much is Irish? (56* d) RE: Stepdancing - how much is Irish? 25 Nov 17


As I mentioned in an earlier post, I saw clog fight (when I was a kid) in a small'ish mill town in Lancashire. The men's ankles were tied loosely - about 18" long cords - so they couldn't break away unless they gave in. No wooden legs, though!

This would be about 1950 - the one and only time I ever saw such a thing. My aunt was taking me out for a walk and stopped to watch. She got a bollocking from my grandma for letting me see it.
