Mood:  spacey
Now Playing: quiet sounds of the office before people arrive for work
Went Morris Dancing at Traflagar square on Sunday 2nd November. A once in a lifetime event which saw the gathering of over 200 Morris dancers.

This event was to celebrate the granting of an exception to the new licensing bill that has been progressing through parliament. Intended to "regulate entertainment provided in pubs" the wording of the original bill would clamp down on live entertainment anywhere, including carol singing, busking, pub music sessions and, of course, Morris dancing. Thanks to the campaigning of music lovers everywhere, the bill was amended and a traditional form of entertainment saved from legislative banishment.

It was a great experience.
