Called the Sunday evening #Playford at #Whitby #Folk week. I think it went pretty well (though naturally have a list of the things that didn't quite go to plan). Sleep now...

Something for #europeday...

Europe's Revels, a dance by John Eccles, from his interlude, Europe's Revels for the Peace, which was performed at court and at London theatres in 1697.
This image of the dance comes from The Dancing Master, Henry Playford, 1698
