Re. the "signposts" reference, Noble Savage - I hope there are musicians such as yourself out there who can provide appropriate accompaniment for the more difficult morris tunes; it would certainly require skills on a par with Rob Stradling or Tony Rose. Please feel free to come to the equally overcast English Midlands and show some of our musicians the way!

My own team has the problem of a couple of regular musicians who do not dance and a number of others who are dancing little due to advancing age and increasing injury. We are now in the position of having more players than dancers at times. Imposing a rule on the number of musicians is an excellent way of controlling the cacophony, but it would mean some of our guys never play.

I've given up playing for my own team and occasionally join others when welcomed. What will I do when I'm too old to dance??
