 +Me? well I'm a bit of a Jig junkie and have danced in the Jig competition at Sidmouth, gaining 3rd overall in 2014 and best over 40. I have been collecting Morris jigs for about 15 years and have written some, resurrected some, copied some; found some buried in Roy Dommett's papers. I have given workshops at festivals and run some myself.
