Who was the side which danced on Hale and Pace in the "Heavy Metal Morris Dancer" sketch? I think they are/were London based. Dressed in biker gear.

Along with all the Sheffield sides, our lot danced and took part at the opening ceremony of the World Student Games in 1991. It was televised. (We went in to make up the numbers as they were a side short). There's a wonderful shot of our drummer charging past the ground level camera, across the sports field to get to the first position, with the drum tucked under his arm!

I think Dad's Army had brought in a "proper" musician, as he played Constant Billy.
