7th and 8th July (this weekend) in Sheringham Norfolk (UK) This is always the highlight of the summer for me. All kinds of Morris dancing, Shantymen and all right beside the sea. Can't wait!

There's a decent band from our area (Michigan, USA) that we heard perform as "The Porta Potty Pickers". They might fit right in.

They sound ideal, GUEST! The name of the Potty Festival derives from a North Norfolk Morris side called originally the Lobster Pots, quickly changed to the Lobster Potties. They're based at the pub called the Lobster (of course!) They made up their own style of Morris dancing, very nice to watch. There are usually about thirty sides,
from all over, at Sheringham during the Festival, dancing at three spots in the town.

And I thought it was called after those things that traditionally went under the bed.

Is there going to be a Potty Mouth Music concert?
