Hull Day of Dance


I was late getting away and not helped by the buses and the unusually heavy Saturday traffic so I only caught about half an hour or so of the Hull Day of Dance. Hundreds of folk performers "on a scale like never before" was on offer. Still the little I saw was bright, colourful and entertaining. Town was full of morris dancers wandering about in wonderful costumes and as they wear bells the noise was somewhat odd as well.

Inconspicuous


The first day of September brings a new theme from City Daily Photo: Photographing the photographer. So knowing this I held these two back from that glorious Saturday in July when the streets of Hull were filled with wondrous traditional music and dancing. The lady with the camera is a member of the local morris team, Rackaback Morris who not only organised the other teams but put on a good show themselves. I see from their site there is to be a Hull Day of Dance on Saturday September 23rd. Should be yet another fun day.
