Step dancing at WorlingworthThough there weren't as many flat caps as you might expect at the Worlingworth Swan's Step Dance Day Sunday there was a plentiful supply of waistcoats, neckerchiefs, dealer boots and some pony and traps.  The event was much larger and broader than we'd anticipated  with competitions for the young and women dancing too, like Ronnie Frost said There's some real characters here.  (We also heard that landlady Kate (one time carer for the Framlingham Crown and Anchor) is moving on.)  More pix on PhotoBox.

Either a nasty bit of vandalism or somebody with a serious grudge?  Either way a man in his late teens to 20s tried to set light to a car in Worlingworth at the end of last month.

Friendly Misunderstood RabbitsThere were a lot good times being had in a tent at the back of the Worlingworth Swan last night.  Friendly Misunderstood Rabbits (who seemed to have suddenly grown up since MSM) had a depping drummer but still gave the high energy (11.2 on a Marshall) performance you'd expect from young Turks whilst acknowledging their antecedents with a couple of Hendrix tunes, and even synchronised behind the neck guitar playing ... or maybe they're just big Joe Brown fans.

The Outlaws recreating a near Chelmsford particular

The O's came on to the theme from the Big Country, or possibly the Magnificent Seven or even Appalachian Major dancer Spring (we can never sort them out) and two smoke machines.  Though this looked great it did slow the rush of people entering the tent as they couldn't see where they were going:)  The O's have got even tighter and the micro Chico and Cookie Eddie Cochrane set went particularly well (maybe add Three Steps to Heaven fellas?) and as the evening progressed the struttings (and occasional falling overs) at the front of the stage got more and more charged.  Like they say guaranteed entertainment.

Massed strutting

... and oh yes, the lady in red did get to hear I Predict a Riot.
