I think I mentioned this before but its worth writing again!

In the showers at the Sidmouth festival a few years ago, a man edged up to a friend of mine asking 'are you a Bampton dancer then?' to which his reply was yes. The man then stated, 'but you don't dance Bampton.' Apparently he had studied the history books, checked the dagrams etc and concluded that we were dancing our own tradition incorrectly, and maybe we should read up on how to dance properly.
