Ooh, I wonder if I could persuade Sutton Masque to add a couple of longsword dances to the repertoire. We have several people whose knees/feet/other medical complaints make it hard for them to participate and it would be nice for them/us to be able to do a turn or two. We also have a couple of people who do rapper on the side, so they might be able to interpret and teach the dances for us, if you were willing to share?

We're trying to learn the melodeon as well (I normally play the whistle) but I'm finding it really complicated! The fact that you can play every tune in several different ways depending on the bases is doing my head in! I admire you for managing it :)

Happy New Year, btw :)
