Traditional Dance Festival 2008

No posting yesterday as I was involved with the York Traditional Dance Festival. This is Fiddlers Fancy a group from Stockport, processing along Daveygate past St. Helen's church. In the background are Minster Strays just emerging from St. Helen's Square into Daveygate. We started the day with fairly low expectations as the weather forecast was dreadful but the sun was shining most of the day whilst others all around us had sunshine. It must be the power of the Morris!

Street Entertainers - Mr Yellow

York is well noted for a number of street performers. Here, Mr Yellow is being ably assisted by one of the young members of Black Pig Morris. Mr yellow was displaced from his usaul places that he performs in the city and was in St Helens square just before the Dance Festival Procession started from the Guildhall.
