I no longer have anything to do with Morris dancing, but in 2004 I submitted this scholarly letter to the Morris Ring Circular
Dear Eddie,

A few Circulars ago, a correspondent pointed out that Leonard Bardwell, founder member of East Surrey MM was the first father-in-law of the author Kingsley Amis.  Your readers might be interested to read what he wrote to his friend Philip Larkin on the 9th of May 1949:

 "The best news from here for a long time is that old Bardwell was taking part in some lunatic folk-fandango in which the men swung a lot of staves about and ducked and jumped over them (SILLY OLD DIPPY OLD SLOPPY OLD DAPPY OLD POTTY OLD FOOLS) - you know the kind of thing.  Well, old B's opposite number swung his stick at the wrong time, or old B mistimed it or something: anyways, the upshot is that old B takes one hell of a crack on the brain-box, and is laid out for some time, and suffers a lot of pain, and has to be treated for shock.  NOW THAT'S FUCKING GOOD EH?"

(From 'The letters of Kingsley Amis', ed. Z. Leader, HarperCollins, p. 203.)

I would assume a Mayday performance of Lads-a-bunchum, Adderbury (Adderbury is mentioned elsewhere in the correspondence), does anyone know better? 


Yours sincerely,

It’s an exciting time to be a trustee of The OHMI Trust as it celebrates its 15th anniversary. This very special music and disability charity will be marking the occasion with a celebratory concert on Saturday, 12th September 2026 (7pm – 9pm) at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

And be deprived of this culture? (from popbitch)
International fans have brought some great new songs with them. Here are some of our favourites we’ve been sent so far.

“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender”. From, surprise, surprise, Australian fans.

England fans, not to be outdone offered this charming ditty.
“He’s fat with piles, he’s in the Epstein files, Trump the cunt, Trump the cunt”.

They followed that by facing off with Croatian fans in a pub while singing another classic, to the tune of Go West: “You’re shit but your birds are fit”
