Photos for folk London

by Ffion Mair Dean

Hi all, I'm trying to find a good photo to send to Folk London. I don't think the ones I've taken on my ipad will be big enough - he asked for 1MB or more. Who has the one with us at the end of the first Farringdon crawl with Simon in the feather boa? Ffion x Please take a look at my blog on Welsh folk songs - caneuongwerin.wordpress.com

Tonight's practice

by Ffion Mair Dean

Hi all, Unfortunately I'm current stuck at home because there are no trains running on my line into London so I won't be able to join you tonight. Fortunately Rachel still has the keys and will be able to collect the spare set of swords from home before tonight so there will still be a practice. Sue's going to bring her fiddle for the music. I believe the dancers going tonight are Rachel, Jo, Becky, Hannorah, Katherine, Sue, Josie and possibly but probably not Laura. If any of you aren't going to make it please can you email and say so in case it means there won't be enough dancers to make it possible to practise? Hope you have a good evening and see you all next week, trains dependent! Ffion x Please take a look at my blog on Welsh folk songs - caneuongwerin.wordpress.com

Folk London article

by Ffion Mair Dean

Hi all, A few weeks ago we discussed getting in touch with Folk London to see if they'd like an article about us. I contacted them and they're very keen! They'd like a half A5 page article, to put our December and January crawls in their diary and to put a picture of us on their front cover! Can you please: A) Tell me what you think of the draft article below. Rachel and Nikki, do you want to use your married or maiden names given you were unmarried at the time? B) Fill in the availability for the December and January crawls which I've just added to the sheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvM6rY7GMmOGdF9vYVIwaXBmXzViSz…. Technically our December one should be on Boxing Day so I’ve put 19 Dec in as a possible alternative. Hannorah, could you suggest where these might be and maybe even nominate a meeting pub which we could put in the Folk London diary? C) Suggest a photo we have that meets these requirements - "Pictures need to be high resolution colour jpegs (1meg or more) and in landscape format." If we haven't got one perhaps we could take a nice one at the October crawl. Tower Ravens - London's newest rapper sword dance team In April 2012 Thrales Rapper hosted DERT (the annual Dance England Rapper Tournament) with the competition taking place in Soho pubs and evening events at Cecil Sharp House. Although Thrales are a long established male team and Hawksword formed a few years ago as a mixed gender longsword and rapper team, there was no all-female rapper sword dancing team in London at the time. Three young women (Rachel Sheridan, Lindsey Kennedy and Nicola Osborne) decided that this needed to change and that DERT 2012 would be the best opportunity they'd ever get to recruit some more women interested in dancing rapper in London. 18 months later and the group have a name - Tower Ravens - a musician, a number of dancers, a set of swords (beautifully made by Jimmie Kilner) and two dances. They crawl pubs in a different part of London on the fourth Thursday of each month - see www.towerravens.org.uk for details - and always get a lot of interest from the punters, and usually some loud cheers too! In March 2013 they entered DERT coming a respectable 6th out of 13 in the open class. In October they performed at their first festival in Tenterden and are hoping for more opportunities to dance at festivals in 2014. Tower Ravens practise every Monday evening at St Michael's church hall on Cornhill, near Bank from 7.30pm until 9.30pm. They are always open to new members - contact info(a)towerravens.org.uk or visit www.towerravens.org.uk for more information. Catch the Tower Ravens in action at their next dance out which will be in x area on x day in December. Please take a look at my blog on Welsh folk songs - caneuongwerin.wordpress.com

Hello, Sorry again, I can't make tonight and next week isn't likely either. I have a lot of deadlines at the moment because I'm taking several autumn semester modules so I've a lot on. I will be at the agm, and I should be able to return to practice properly after that. Aisha x - Stressed Raven Sent from Yahoo7 Mail on Android

Re: [Tower Ravens] Nikki's wedding

by Sue Connolly

Fabulous work, Hannorah! Sorry to put a spanner in the works, however, but if we intend to display the card with the cake, any shade of blue will look naff with all the autumnal shades. I absolutely appreciate that it's in the Ravens' colours. But the theme of the wedding is brown/yellow/orange and particularly GREEN. If we give the card separately, it is indeed superb, although I do prefer Hannorah's original version. The second one isn't even in Ravens' colours! Tried and failed to experiment with a green background, but now I must get baking. Fast.

FW: NORTH WOOD DAY OF DANCE 2014

by Sue Connolly

Saturday 10th May 2014 We couldn't do this last May. If we are interested next year, it needs to be organised and booked quite soon, ie numbers by 15th November, deposits by 10th December. It's a great day out in the Surrey/Kent Hills; coach transport between great pubs at places such as Penshurst and Limpsfield Chart, although the exact itinerary changes from year to year. All very pretty and green at a lovely time of year. However it's mostly morris, so they don't cater for wooden floors. Dancing is outside, although we could always dance indoors if the floor is more suitable. Northwood blokes are very friendly, welcoming and excellent hosts. There are usually about 6 guest sides. It starts and finishes near a tram station, accessible from both Croydon stations. Plenty of free parking there.

FW: DOT : Museum of Folklore asking for Morris Dancer costumes

by Sue Connolly

I know we're no morris side, but would we wish to represent ourselves thus? (And to point out that there are other forms of traditional English dance) S x ----- Original Message ----- From: Woods-Wilson, Pauline To: Nick Peed (nick.public(a)tesco.net) Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 9:33 AM Subject: Museum of Folklore asking for Morris Dancer costumes I’ve seen this on Facebook and the MDDL. Perhaps the team wants to participate? "The Museum of British Folklore has launched a new initiative to represent the wide variety of Morris sides within the UK. Any teams wishing to take part will be sent a blank figure to decorate with their team kit. The idea being that over time, the collection will grow into an original and unique visual record created by the people who participate in the dance.

Iranian event at SOAS on 14 December

by Ffion Mair Dean

Hi all, Well done last night - we did some good work and I'm looking forward to dancing both dances at the weekend. I realised I didn't give you any more information about the Iranian event we've been invited to dance at at SOAS. The event is 7-10pm in the main SOAS lecture / performance hall on Saturday 14 December. The first half is Iranian music and the second is more diverse, including some sets from some of the ceilidh band members. No fee but we can do a collection. If you need any more information let me know and I'll go back to Peyman. If you don't need any more information please fill in your availability on the sheet asap! Thanks, Ffion x
