Little Egypt Maintain The Tradition

dance at The Angel

and recruit a New Dancer

26 December 2009

Just how did I let this happen?

Kevin, our Landlord and recent recruit to Little Egypt had provided a special keg of Morris Man's Beer tucked away in the barn so that we didn't keep clogging up the bar with constant demands for "more ale please, landlord".

We started witn "Bluebells" and as you can see from the pictures, the crowd was enraptured.

   

Kevin made his public debut in "Speed the Plough" - unfortunately Squire had forgotten the spare pair of 34 inch waisted white trousers he'd promised, so Kevin had to appear in jeans. So much for keeping a low profile.

If I look serious, they might not notice  That a respectable businessman should be reduced to this  Hide me! I've just spotted a camera 

Following a spirited "Vandals", new man Chris was given the honour of collecting the sticks and yes, the old trick of going round for more from the stick trolley was enacted. He'll soon learn.

We've got them in the palm of our hands  You've done this before, haven't you?  Is that why my hands are so sticky? 
Careful - nearly got our feet off the ground that time  Don't know about palms - what about armpits? 

And there was more to come:
