Worra wonderful spot this is, let’s hope the weather holds out for a hearty warm up for the long weekend!
Amazing festival in Escot Park. We're dancing all 3 days all over the place by day, and launching ourselves into the festival by night. Not to be missed!
We were honoured to be asked to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the amazing Sidmouth Folk Festival, you’ll find us dancing our boots off all week long.
We love being us. We get to dance to the darkest dirtiest trad music, hang out with amazing morris sides, and we get to do it at The Rugglestone Inn, one of the best pubs on the moor, and definitely the one with the most ducks. I know I'm coming for dinner first so if you want the deep fried cheese wedges you'd better come early.
Hosted by Lyme Morris, this seafront shindig with its panoramic views over the Jurassic Coast has all the makings of an amazing day out!
An unusual Friday evening gig for us - come and revel in the revelry at the annual Lapford Revel with them Myths & Legends. We’ll be performing between the pub Old Malt Scoop Inn and the village hall (road closure applies).
How lucky are we?! We get to play at our absolute favouritest pubs this season, including this gem at the top of town in Totnes. Usually welcoming us in after our exertions on St George’s day, they are kindly giving us corvids a nest for an evening of dance, song and libations. That being said, we may well be dancing in town somewhere first as we need a bit of space to spread our wings, and we are of course massive posers and thrive on adulation. So come and adulate us! Keep an eye on our facebook as we’ll update on there where we’re dancing and there will inevitably be a change of plan at around 7.49pm. Also the Pizza Pirates will be there selling delicious fresh pizza!
See you there!!
