The Broadside Band – 17th-Century English Dance Tunes From Playford
More sexy country dances! People scoff at country dances, don’t they? I always loved them. When it rained at school and you could choose country dancing or sports at break time, I never chose sports. In the 50s, I did long to boogie-woogie as well, though. I liked the idea of a handsome man chucking me over his shoulder. Once, I put my bobby socks on and went to a ballroom at the end of the pier in Hastings to try and do some. Sadly, I was the youngest person there. It was full of old chaps! [laughs] So I’ve never done it, which is a regret, but it might be a bit too late now. It’s boogie-woogie’s loss.
