Sorry broodtube - I did spell it wrong in the description but not in the Header. I have amended it!

Thanks for looking and providing the extra information.

We really enjoyed the dancing, (and we did spell it correctly).

The dance is called Worcestershire Monkey not Worcester Monkey.

The dance is by Martin Hallett of Wicket Brood and the music Weasel's Revenge is by Jan Hurst also of Wicket Brood.

Sort of like a "polka mass"?! Are all churches as accepting of the old ways?

We cerrtainly rocked that day! And the acoustics were wonderful.
