I remember reading about someone re enacting Kemps Morris Dance to Norwich over the Easter period. This is raising money for a medical charity and I need to know more please. I am stranded without access to newsgroups then remembered good old Mudcat. Please help me with this and either PM me or [e-mail]

TIA

Andy

Andy,

If it's Next Foot Up you're talking about, I've offered to help with advertising & PR in my area ~ the Cotswolds to the finish at Worcester.

If I can help, or you'd like further info, contact me, I'm awaiting details from their Press Officer.

Hope you're both well, looking forward to Miskin :-)

Really good idea but I bet he'll have sore feet.

Pity his route doesn't include the Easter Festival at Fareham and Gosport. That's where I'll be and I'd gladly dance a mile or so with him.

I hope that's not my Toby defecting to the other Easter festival. He knows Miskin is the place to be.

Don't worry Miskin Man.

I'm another Toby.

I will try Miskin one day but I've already got tickets to see the likes of Janis Ian, Roy Bailey, Dave Swarbrick and Waterson-Carthy at the Easter Festival at Fareham and Gosport this year.

Hope your own event goes well though.
