Our authentic music is provided by Marian and Ian from the Foxes Bark Folk Dance Band, both on the day and at rehearsals. They have played at many folk dances at the Village Hall over the years, including Fran's 50th birthday party, and our eldest daughter's wedding reception.

There were a couple of new Crows this year - however, they were not necessarily aware that they were performing under L-plates!

It is not generally known that one of the side effects of the Crow Dance is to ensure a sunny, rain-free day.

However, we cannot accept bookings from Wimbledon or elsewhere, however lucrative, because the weather effect only works in Moulton.

Scarecrow departs at the conclusion of the Crow Dance.

After the performance, Fran was presented with a bouquet of flowers in appreciation of her initiative in bringing the Crows to life again, and her work in organising the performance over the last five years.

Her work has included sorting out the costumes, storing them, repairing them (!), making fresh noses, organising rehearsals, finding new crows and inducting them into the mysteries of Crowdom, organising the bang for the Farmer's gun, booking our musicians, etc, etc.

Ill-health has made it necessary for Fran to hand over to other people, but the Crows are in good hands, and will dance again on a sunny rain-free day next year!
