We sat upstairs due to the tender years of one of our party, and were mesmerised by the kaleidoscope of dancers below. The music was just mindblowing. |

01 Dec 03 - 03:53 PM (#1063893) Subject: RE: Blowzabella - some very good news From: Gray D Dave Bryant - have a look at Blowzabella's home page for a partial list of band members (bottom of the second page). I got the impression that some of the players weren't doing every gig, but only the band could confirm that. Jennifer - couldn't agree more about the swirling throng. Sometimes I just watched the dancers instead of the band - particularly the young morrisers that I mentioned in my piece on the Beeb site. Countess Richard - didn't know they'd announced it at Leicester. It sounded like they had only just decided at Bath. Still there's a whole throng of people who won't have known and will be thrilled skinny to find out . . . er . . . but not on the Mudcat, apparently. It'll just have to be our little thread. Gray D (still buzzing from the gig) |

I missed it, A few good friends and myself used to follow the wall of sound all over the place, the horn section harmonies, and Andy's demon playing allways did it for us. I last saw them at Sidmouth festival a few years ago, they brought back a lot of very good memories, I'll just have to catch up with them next year! Wassail! Chris. |

02 Dec 03 - 01:24 PM (#1064528) Subject: RE: Blowzabella - some very good news From: GUEST,jennifer Well I hadn't heard they were getting back together again next year, even though I was at Leicester. But we did leave a bit early due to the youngster having fallen asleep. Will definitely have to get some dancing shoes and go back for another go! |

I also have fond memories of Dave Roberts dancing the Dorset 4 hand reel backwards while dressed as a baby at an Earls of Essex fancy dress Christmas party in the late 1970s... Good to see from the website that Dave Armitage (ex-Hammersmith Morris) is going to be playing the Bath gig. |

Wear your dancing shoes if you catch them 'cos one of the things that struck me was that even when I wanted to stand still, my legs didn't. Just could NOT stop jigging. Jennifer You could have stayed and adopted the approach of one mother that I saw laying her zonked out 4 year old out across 3 or 4 unused seats (everyone seemed to be dancing, not sitting) Herga Kit You mean "was", old thing. The gig is past and gone. Next year, a? Gray D (STILL buzz....) |
