29 Aug 02 - 06:30 AM (#773480) Subject: Appalachian flatfooting in Bucks/Berks From: Gervase It's one of those addiction things. My other 'arf has been bitten by the Appalachian flatfooting bug and is now desperate to find a team/side/group of like-minded individuals (or even an individual teacher) in or around the Bucks and Berks area of the UK. If anyone knows of any resources, all will be gratefully recieved. Many thanks.... GW |

Was she at Towersey, if so she may have talked to us there. Nick |

29 Aug 02 - 10:21 AM (#773599) Subject: RE: Help: Appalachian flatfooting in Bucks/Berks From: GUEST,sorefingers This is a great thread! for me. If my old brain serves me well - Reading in the Royal County - was the very place where in 1984/5 the American Banjo became the City's latest and greatest revolution, not overtaking Mick Jagger another local product. There were at least two folk bands providing bloggle. Later - 87 I think, there arrived one duet from the west, a genuine US Fiddler and a local lad - gone wrong through the acquisition of a SS Stewart Banjo: whenandwerever they played folks wanted to dance so later - muuuch later - other oh I am hacked - ok - better bands arose and so began the great invasion of 'Jiggle Dancin' also known in the local millieuxs - Appalasian and Ozark Mtns as 'Chigger Stomping'. Happy then am I to learn that the seed of Pete Seger's books' students' miss thumbing hath borne cloggie fruit in the city of Cook kooo - and the Doe which fartheth!

29 Aug 02 - 10:31 AM (#773607) Subject: RE: Help: Appalachian flatfooting in Bucks/Berks From: nickp Yup, Sara would be good if that's the area, her 'team' (Oracle) is a teenagers team but she does teach adults on (currently) a non-team basis. Other links to UK teams in general - well those that I know have a web site - can be found at the links page of www.bluefields.org.uk Gervase, if PM-ing gives problems there's an email link on the Bluefields site.

30 Aug 02 - 05:23 AM (#774114) Subject: RE: Help: Appalachian flatfooting in Bucks/Berks From: nickp Kitty, depends where exactly Gervase (and, of course his wife) live. If he PMs me I'll try and find his (her) nearest team. If the PM doesn't work I'll put an email here in suitably 'expanded' form. Nick (on behalf of the Clogging List) |

And better a fiddle than a banjo (OOOPS did I really say that!).
