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.

Don’t be fooled, accept no imitations: this is not #RedCuthbertMorris
It is the #ChilternHundreds, and right good they are too

Decent dance out tonight, though I brought two sets of pipes with me and played neither of them! Still, good to mark St George’s Day (a day late admittedly) in place of practice.
First @RedCuthbert pub night of the year, if I’m not mistaken… and we have to wait a whole two days to our next event (same excuse) on Saturday, then the same again next Thursday to celebrate May Day :-)
Here’s the #CuddyDuck on my @RedCuthbert kit - and I should’ve said, happy St Cuthbert’s Day!

EDIT: Due to unforeseen circumstances we are having to cancel this dance out.
Join us for our first dance of the year in Bedford town centre! Let’s ring in 2025 with dancing and bells!
Saturday 25th January
10:30 Faces (Silver Street)
