Station Street Festival 2009

Station Street Fiesta, Sunday 11th October, 11.30am to midday.
18 kiddy tappers, 3 grown-up tappers, one roadie (Nell), one official photographer (Fixit), 10 routines (if you think I look sweaty in these shots that's because I was! But bear in mind that I had to dance all ten of those routines), 3 stage invasions (all by the same kid who was 2 but clearly thought his place was up with the very professional big kids -average age 8- who danced round him while his father looked helplessly on.) No technical hitches, no major mistakes beyond one of the Tap-pets knocking my hat out of my hands just before the tricky hat throw and ending. Still, made us laugh. A good show.

  13. I would have come to this had I known it was on.
    I like Fairfield. It may be miles away, but it would be worth the drive for me to see you tap and the boys to see that wooden dog thingy that they love. (Wasn't some guy murdered near that dog?).
