About Me
- Nige
- Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.
In reverse order...you have not taken leave of your senses. It is rather wonderful. I can't speak for England but there are many parts of rural Ireland where people gather, in church halls and community centres - and the odd front room - and sing and dance in much the same way as Sam Sherry, in a completely natural and unaffected way. Now I am going to risk asking you to reconstruct the chain of events that led you to this quirky little vid? The Nation awaits....
ReplyDeleteSorry Mahlerman it's not all that interesting - I was just surprised to find myself watching and enjoying this. What a graceful style he has - apparently he merged elements of tap and soft-shoe into the clogging steps. Damned catchy tune too...
ReplyDeleteI loved it. It reminded me of Ireland too. Thanks very much for sharing it.
