Bishop Gundulfs Morris (hereinafter BG) has the first stand of the season to day - a paid one too. Mick from Gong Scourers joined Blossom (and occasionally others) on squeezy things, Graham was on plunky thing, Kev the Clogs and hangover (and alas, Keith who has no computer on Irish sieve with skin) were doing thud duties, and I was on mandoplank and distortion pedal. Mike was scraping.

Magic. I have not enjoyed a day with Gundulfs so much ever. We were right on the beat, and so the dancers were mostly right in the air. There is a new Betsy routine for the dancers and it is going to be VERY good.

Big Dick in a Frock is interesting.

Seriously looking forward to the rest of the season and some proper drinking since I was driving today, and singing since my throat is stil not over the combination of its infection and the bellowing at the Nags Head last week.

Roll on Summer...

Threads combined.

Oh, damn, I did not see this thread before starting one.

Look forward to seeing the edited flims.

It was at the Kent Museum of Country Life which is also more interesting than I expected.

Any stray Elves, can you kindly combine my thread with this one, but correct the spelling of the header to my version?

Many thanks.

THanks Elf, but it is "Gundulfs" (yes ungrammatical I know) not "Gundolf".

At least it aint spelled GANDULF which really used to annoy me.
Interestingly, it has two different spellings within Rochester itself, ending with a "ph" as well as the more usual "f".
And the number of times the Bishop has been pluralised, in print and speech.
I am sure niether Hartlies nor Gongs Corers get this problem :-)

The Bishop Gundulfs Morris year's programme has been updated.

http://www.bishopgundulfs.co.uk/Bishop%20Gundulfs%20Morris%20Frame%20Set.htm

The music has changed too: evidently more people did not like the heavy metal mandolin than I suspected, as I have been co-opted to drum instead.

Others may note that the BG stands for Broadstairs this year will obviously be in a different continent, in that they are stated to be in the "town center"! Ideal for a traditional English form of dance (not).
