The last set of photos I put up was of the DDMM ale, so now you'll see another. We were invited for the first time to Lichfield's Ale. This takes place in the very impressive Guildhall there, and is characterised by a remarkable mixture of sides from all over the country (as well by an impressive vegetarian curry...). Here are a few annotated pictures (not the best, as the flash had problems in the big hall):
The roof of the Guildhall
John O'Gaunt (from Lancaster) doing a special three-man dance which they have collected from one family in the Lancaster area. It might be 1000 years old. It's very hard on certain parts of the anatomy...
The men and women of Swansea doing a Bacca Pipes jig
Plymouth abandoning sticks for cutlasses!
Coventry doing a two-man Ascott jig
DDMM watching the fun
