Notes

Bracknell Festival

cassette master


This is the first of two performances of this show, with a large cast consisting of the Albion Dance Band, plus Philip Pickett on things you blow through, the Albionettes - Ashley's own dance troupe and actor Howard Gurney. The show took the usual form of dialogue, usually readings, songs, and this time dances from the Albionettes done to Dave Whetstone tunes, with whom Ashley danced some of the time. Some of the tunes were never performed again - in particular the morris tunes.
