OBJ Morris - 2004 Scrapbook

Graham Taylor's Birthday in Winchester
24 April 2004

Graham Taylor - stalwart of many local morris teams, and dance organiser of the Winchester Folk Festival - invited us to his 60th birthday celebrations in Winchester and Romsey.

The sun shone and we had a superb day.

The other dance teams were Hook Eagles, Morena, Ridgeway Stepclog, Boghoppers&Bushbeaters, White Rats, and Fleet.

This caught the moment when the hula-hula sway started whilst Hook were dancing something-or-other to "Yellow Bird".

This quickly spread to the whole audience. One of the day's great moments.
