Our local Morris side goes from strength to strength, getting Mercury Prize winner Dizzy Rascal to appear on their latest video:
.... oh, actually, the other way round .... and this isn't even on Youtube yet!

click on "Dirtee Cash" Factory Films: "Dirtee Cash"

And more cross-over Morris on same page - click link to "Clinic Tomorrow" ... starring Rachel from our local side...

Enjoy!

Good stuff.

On the strength of this evidence you can probably expect to see Mr. Rascal (that quip (c) Jeremy Paxman) headlining the BBC's coverage of next year's Cambridge Folk Festival ...

There's a multi-layered host of visual metaphors around social justice in this video ..

Ye Olde Big Issue, dated 3rd October 1842 ... maybe 3rd October (2009) is when it was filmed (?), but "1842" .. what's that about?

Guessing it might be Edwin Chadwick's report: "The Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Poor" ??

Doesn't work for me. When I click to open the vid, the screen gets a light grey mask over it, and an 'Error on page' message appears in the corner.

Sounds like plug-in misery to me - I'd guess that you've got an older version of Flash on your machine than the video player needs. To play the video you'll need to go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and get the latest Flash player version - not a bad idea anyway to be honest, as there have been several security issues& exploits around Flash recently.

No My Flash is up to date. I even downloaded it again to make sure. It worked on Firefox, not in IE. Mind you it wasn't worth the effort in the end & I had to turn the noise down.

Having watched it again, I spotted the morris side this time ... but isn't that Seasick Steve on ukelele?

(Yes I know that sounds like something from the old Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band number)

Oooooooh, Seasick Steve .. didn't spot that one .. did think the 'casting' of particular actors for different characters was spot on!

Seasick Steve possible .. paused it 1'18" in, briefest of flashes ... don't think so, will ask SVM if he one of theirs? :0)

Did you spot the 'Tolpuddle Lane' that they're being lead down/ away/ astray from?

Hello LesB,

I tried viewing this on a different/ new computer and got the same grey veil thing you described .. it's just the the PC's settings apparently
