A few days later came another good evening with Jackstraws at the Dog and Partridge in Yateley. Apart from some fine dancing, the evening was enlivened by peering in at the TV inside the pub and following the progress of a horror film – England 1 Iceland 2 in the Euros. Then on 9th July, a small but immaculately rehearsed team was off to Priddy in Somerset for the Priddy Folk Festival. A somewhat lower key festival, yet featuring some big names, this proved an excellent event to take part in, not least for the hospitality tent made freely available to all performers with a seemingly endless supply of tea and cakes. Apart from indulging in this, we had a number of spots on the Market Square and in the Eastwater Marquee, one of which was an hour long show along with the Outside Capering Crew. Although not an actual Big Caper show, it had much of the feel of it with the combined 4 musicians, and a number of joint dances, including the reappearance of the pampering routine where David was well looked after and Jameson wasn’t.
