Tues 25 July - after being seen in Reading during our 40th birthday weekend, Berkshire Bedlam 'Burlesque Cabaret Morris' are invited on BBC Radio Berkshire morning show Sun 6 August, Sidmouth prom, Jerry fulfilling his liefelong ambition to be Paul in two by two... ... and for which we had chosen the smallest space we could find.
Will took the opportunity to limber up prior to...  .. the solo jig competition. A fantastic performance, with superb accompaniment from Jim Sawyer, resulting in... ... a well deserved first place! (and for good measure John (Gasson's) Mum's prize too - the jig she enjoyed the most). He doesn't look sure he's won though, does he? 
At the start of the double jig competition, Alun and Mark reprise last year's winning jig, with added posing this time. Will took part in the double with Kynan Parker-Roth, with Jerry playing for them... ... and they only went and won that too, despite Jerry being possibly the most reluctant wearer of a bandana ever.
Later in the week, Mark joined in with the excellent young American team Great Circle While Jameson (and Will) were with the not-quite-so-young-apart-from-Will Tylers Men Who made sure their audiences got the point

Coffee drinkers in the Brown Bag cafe wondering what's going on Next stop the Queen's Head ...  ... where we'd been well advertised outside the pub ...
