Our Wizzzard has created a video montage and put up a brief blog post for last weekend’s Bedfordshire Day of Dance as part of Bedfringe. I’m quite glad I’m not the Wizzzard any more so don’t have to do such things.
That said, if you want to see it, it is here: https://redcuthbert.uk/archives/2965

I’ve just found out that Liam Robinson is playing again, and will be appearing in a trio at the Day of Lincolnshire Folk.
He had stopped around 2015, just as I started, due to illness and there was a whip round in his aid when I went to Melodeons and More, one of the first workshops I attended. A year or so later I picked up all three of his albums and the CDs among the few that lived in my car so they were always available when commuting. Great playing on both one row four stop and D/G, including Lincolnshire tunes that are now among my own favourites to play such as The Louth Quickstep and The Quickstep From Louth (imaginative names, huh?)
The last I heard he was still unable to play, but working tuning/reparing church organs.
So to say I’m pleased is an understatement :-) :-)
Seems I will have to try rearranging my plans so I can make it to Leadenham this year!
In other news, playing and dancing all day today with Red Cuthbert as part of Bedfringe (Bedford Fringe Festival) and tomorrow for the St Cuthbert’s Street Festival… busy busy.

Here we are dancing Much Wenlock near the start of the day of dance at #Bedfringe in #BedfordUK on Saturday - not our most polished performance, but hopefully you can tell we are having fun! Give us a shout if you fancy giving it a go :-)

Yesterday we finally broke out Captain Lanoe’s Skirmish, which we’ve been learning on-and-off recently- and while it’s not perfect it is a really fun dance. We even managed to get a video of it so you can check it out here:

Essential final preparation for today’s #DayOfDance as part of #BedFringe are under way!
So y'all want to know who is dancing when and where during tomorrow's Day of Dance as part of #BedFringe? Oh, all right then... check it out
The last side we have to introduce joining our #DayofDance at #Bedfringe on Saturday is... ourselves! #RedCuthbertMorris was founded in 2012 and is one of three (yes, three!) groups of #MorrisDancers based in #BedfordUK - you can find out more about us on our website at https://redcuthbert.uk
Wicket Brood are coming to our day of dance at the Bedford Fringe Festival on Saturday - a completely different style to the two sides we've introduced so far, and relative newcomers as they've only been dancing for 30 years (2024 is their anniversary too!)
