Relaxing Break

Bet you wish it was something stronger boys, the performance is over and after the strain of appearing in London’s Albert Hall the members of the Loftus sword dancers relax with a soft drink.

( thanks again to Colin and Malcolm Beedle for the photo)

Llangollen Eisteddfod

A lovey memory jerking newspaper cutting of the first team of sword dancers, with their trophy from Llangollen. Are there any of you out there willing to share your memoriesof that day?

(thanks go again to Colin and Malcolm Beedle for the newspaper cutting)

Mr Norminton With The Dancers

Nice to see all the faces of the dancers, 1951 when it all started for the Festival of Britian celebrations, who thought these young men would have won so much.

Arty With The Dancers

I loved this photo with the logo on it, but I don’t know where they are dancing, do you? Now I have forgotten but someone out there will tell me I am sure, but which set are they doing?

(thanks to Colin and Malcolm Beedle for the photo)

Under the Swords

Lovely to see Arty under the swords.

(thanks again go to Colin and Malcolm Beedle for the photo)

Lovely Lock

Not easy to do, to get it so perfect, no sticky tape, no magnets, just the interweaving of the swords. Nice one boys
