Subject: RE: Folklore: Dancing up the sun
Hi John (and Nicole)

This year I shall be dancing up the sun with Rattlejag in Nottinghamshire (see Rattler's post earlier)
The previous couple of years - when May Day did fall as part of the Bank Holiday weekend - I've run 'Herbaceous Border' at Upton Folk Festival in Worcestershire (so anyone who wanted could come along and dance or play at 5.15am.)
Last night, because I am going to miss Bideford Folk Club's own May Day Celebrations, I finished up the evening at Folk Club with your wonderful "Dance Up the Sun" song. On Tuesday the Club will be Singing in the May on the sailing schooner called the 'Kathleen and May' which is moored at Bideford. You can see it when you're in Devon again in October.

Merry Morrissing to you and all May Day dancers
Sue
