Judging by the camera angle that wasn't taken by the person who was waving their bloody ipad around in the gig.

I was 1000 miles away so am very glad of the video, hopefully more will surface.

Absolutely breathtaking! So elegant and magical. Tell me, were they dancing a sort of variation of Queen's Delight? Thank you so much for posting that Bonzo3legs.

Mesmerizing!!!
Played it half a dozen times before I realised what was missing.
Candidates for a "no bell" prize?????

I love it!

How can you possibly take a good photo at a gig with an ipad? I would be annoyed if somebody waved one around in front of me. I would even offer copies of my photos!

You're absolutely right, Eliza :-)
Didn't even notice the lack of baldricks even after half a dozen viewings....mesmerism will do that!

Eliza,
Morris Dancers dont have to have Baldricks,!!   Indeed many Traditional sides never wore them, there was a greater variety in Morris costume than many revival sides seem to imagine.
