☀️☀️ Kendal Calling ☀️☀️ may be kicking off but surely the 🎵 music event 🎵 of the month in the Valley will be at The Mardale Saturday 10th August during the afternoon?

Come and enjoy a relaxed drink and a burger (both will be MUCH cheaper than at KC!) with the folk music of Morris and then Billy Burrell in the background.

No tickets required - just pop along and catch up with folks!

Well after a covid & no Globe gap of 3 years Crook Morris, Westmorland Step & Garland Dancers and Legs Levens Appalachian Dancers relaunched the annual Kendal Market Place Gathering of local sides.
Oh it was so good to be back.
It was great to have a good and appreciative audience, a dry night and a good welcome at The Publican. Plenty of dances with members of Crook joining with a clog spot, another with LL and a clog dancer doubling up with LL - oh we do like each other.
It's so good to have a town centre pub again and we hope we'll be able to develop this splendid night in the years to come.

Forecast is dry, ha !
Can't promise sun though.

Fingers crossed for good weather this evening, we are dancing out with Crook Morris

Another great dance out on Monday evening. The sun was even shining up at Sedbergh! Up next is our joint dance out with other local sides in Kendal market place next week.

Another lovely local dance out for Crook Morris last night. We are very lucky to have such a great location so close to us to enjoy these light nights. The rain even held off for us!

Don't worry if you missed us, catch us next Monday evening at the Black Bull in Sedbergh.

Come and see us performing tomorrow evening at the beautiful Bowness waterfront. We will also be heading to the Hole in't Wall pub later on in the evening.

Crook had a lovely time dancing at the Fairbank Society's Strawberry Tea day on Saturday Afternoon. Don't worry if you missed us, you can catch us dancing tomorrow evening at HEFT, High Newton nr Grange.

Come along to Faribank Society's open day this Saturday aftenoon (8th June) to learn what they are all about, enjoy a strawberry tea and you can even see us dancing!

Make a note in your diary about our Strawberry Tea on Saturday June 8th!

Crook had a great time on Saturday afternoon at Countryfest. This is an event we have been going to for several years and the sun always seems to shine down on us. It is great when events organise the weather to behave as well!

Come along to Countryfest at the beginning of next month to see us performing on the Saturday. Hopefully the weather is as nice as last year's was!

Some of the slightly madder members of Crook Morris are getting up VERY early on Wednesday morning to dance up May Day at sunrise.
We are going to be dancing on Scout Scar nr Kendal at Sunrise approx 5.30.
Apparently there has been some interest from some just as mad person to come and watch us! We will be meeting at the car park at 5am. Here is the Google map link

Wow and wow again ! That was a great afternoon for Crook Morris to celebrate St George's Day. We do this every year on the Sunday nearest to 23rd April. For the last 3 years we've expanded the event and tried 2 spots. The Kendal Bird Cage with a procession from Smokies Retro Bar to the Bird Cage. A few dances from some of our dancers, the mumming play and a few more dancers when the actors in their acting kit joined the other dancers for a right bit of fun. Then it's pack up and travel up hill to the Rifleman's Arms on Greenside for more laughter, banter and ribald audience contributions. Really appreciative crowds at both, a lot of ad libbing (all to do with traffic passing by !), the sun shone and the play was it's usual mix of forgotten lines, ham acting and a lot of smiling faces. Great afternoon and a lovely warm welcome from Melissa and Paul in the pub. Roll on Upton Upon Severn FF.

Some very familiar looking hats in the decorated hat competition at Damson Day...

Crook danced and played very well today at Damson Day. Nice to see this event up and running again.

Come see us dancing tomorrow at Damson Day at the county showgrounds. 12pm and 2:30pm

Just one month away, Crook is all booked and excited to be going to Upton upon Severn Folk Festival. Our usual Saturday night party will be going ahead of course. This year's fancy dress theme is Mythical creatures/fantasy. So get your dragons, unicorns, mermaids, witches, and zombies ready! It's going to be out of this world...

Crook had a fantastic first dance out of the season yesterday... even though it was very cold up in Cumbria!
