If we get back for a moment to the 5000 Morris Dancers

How many musicians would be needed? (Noting that in keeping woth tradition, we should not allow amplification).
Allowing one per side would mean approx 1000 (Exact figure not calculable, realising that not all dances are for 6 men (Sorry, Federation, PERSONS), some for 4 or 8, and also a few for other numbers)

I would like to get my name down first, in case a list is started.
