That marked the end of the main dance season, so the next event was the annual Bunfight on 29th November, this year featuring the excellent Steamchicken as band, together with by now our regular Bunfight caller Nick Walden. This year’s theme was ‘Comics’, which gave plenty of scope for some broad interpretation. It turned out to be another super-heroic evening, with a fine display of costumes on show, some reaching new heights (or widths) of impracticality. Interval entertainments included the as yet unnamed triangular stick dance, the now traditional Irish Bingo, and then later on the Men in Coloured Ties, who injected some sartorial elegance as well as a spot that left the audience bemused and entertained in equal measure. And any resemblance of the spot to one of the routines of the Japanese group ‘World Order’ was in the end fairly coincidental.
