The danceouts continue... Tomorrow night we're back in Birmingham for an evening of music, dance and conviviality! This time, unfortunately, without the friends from Minnesota we had a great time with a couple of weeks ago. We'll be meeting up for a pre-dance shandy at the Colmore at around 7:45.

If you've thought "I'm not a folkie, would I fit in with a morris side?" then don't worry! Our musicians can help by channelling Hawkwind to invoke the Spirit Of The Age... It's not all work either. Particularly when we head over to mainland Europe we like to soak up the local way of life!
