I've finally introduced Ants to that amazing English folk tradition, the Ceilidh, and learned a lot more about this special world along the way.
Along with the highly regionalised music - there really IS a book called 'Folk Songs of the Upper Thames' that covers Oxford! there are some other very important lessons:
1. Wear comfortable shoes
2. Wear layers - those scout halls get warm with 80 sweating bodies inside - and you DO sweat
3. Take a bloke to dance with, otherwise you and your galpals end up taking turns being the boy.
4. If you grab each other round the waist and get your feet in the right position, you can spin around REALLY fast....
