No wonder Clun is so bad if foul mouthed people like you live there. Learn something about the traditions of the country you live in and you'll discover the disguise used is far from racist. The original dancers of the parishes were so poor but still too proud to beg and that is what dancing was thought of as - begging. So they disguised their faces to avoid being recognised as beggars. Make any sense to you FlurryFlam or are you really as thick as you sound?

just found it via another video - Four Lane End, and promptly bought the mp3 off of amazon (here's hoping he gets paid for it ;-) ).

what's the tune for this one? We (Foggy Bottom) saw it in 2005 at our gathering @ Three Tons and I loved this one. I have John K's "The Duck Race", and but it is hard to figure out through the sticking and bells. :)
