In 1994 we were invited to represent Wigan in their twin town Angers at their annual Folk Festival
As part of the programme we were asked (told!) to put on a 30 minute performance in the theatre, rather difficult with only one short dance! We held practices beforehand to add additional dances to our repertoire. We got away with it - just!

We changed with tradition and everyone wore the sash on the same shoulder but not sure of the reason why after all these years. It must have been done for a particular purpose which made sense at the time.
