I read in
the papers that there is a
fear that Morris Dancing will die out because younger people aren't
interested in it. This would be a pity: it's been a traditional part of
country life for many years. I was actually involved with folk dancing
for a time when I was about 18: I played the violin in a small folk
dance band in the open air round Stratford-on-Avon and at a few dance
halls. We actually broadcast once - one item in a pre-recorded program
of folk music: I did manage to hear the transmission. It sounded pretty
rough, to be honest. |
