Berkshire Bedlam at
Sidmouth 2000 |
|
|
Well, the waiting was over, practice time had run out, we'd
removed the stains from Rob's breeches for the umpteenth time - it was
time to show the unsuspecting and largely uncaring world what we could do
....
|
 |
|
Our opening spot - Saturday morning at the flagraising ceremony, performing
'Coconuts'
|
|
The first test - can we get round each
other without falling off the stage?
|
 |
 |
The final test - can most of us remember to face outwards at the end?
|
|
|
|
| Saturday lunchtime, outside the Anchor
- getting into it now ..... |
 |
Saturday afternoon - our first Arena Show
Do you think they were all there just there to watch us ??
|
|
|
|
|
Sunday morning procession, followed by the sea-front
.... |
|
|
|
|
.... where part of the BB fan club was waiting
for us (sigh ... these morris groupies ....) |
|
|
Sunday's Morris Party at the Anchor
- lining up for Berkshire Bumfolosi's
Gumboot Dance, in which Mike would
upstage us all with his now legendary
and scene stealing shirt ripping ...

 |
followed by BB's very own 'Duck Pond' |
|
|
At Monday's Whistlestop show at the Arena

Jameson's splendid final jig ..... |
|
|
|
Friday night finale - 'Dance
of the Little Fairies'
(picture taken shortly after the 'where are the sticks' scare) |
|
|
followed by bhangra-ing off to the Bollywood Brass Band ..... |
 |

and finally, the torchlight procession, and torch dousing on
the beach.
Even Gareth was smiling, must be the sea air ........ |
