Oh, we did like to be beside the seaside at this very nautical Folk Festival. Yes, it rained (a bit!), but amazing to be dancing within the National Museum of the Royal Navy.
Boggarts Breakfast were happy to be invited to the JMO Day of Dance in Manchester. So many sides dancing their socks off on every street corner. The passers by did not know where to look next!
Such a friendly, welcoming event celebrating rhubarb – so, there was rhubarb gin, rhubarb cakes, rhubarb vodka, rhubarb bread, rhubarb beer – basically anything and everything with rhubarb added.
Our usual place to see the May Day Morn in – Higgor Tor in Derbyshire. A bit of a climb to get up but once up there, views across the counties and easy to spy the sun.
Again, we were ‘sponsored’ by the lovely folks at the BierHuis. Our blue, black and silver colours were shown with pride and we even managed to cram in a dance in the shop itself.
We invited lots of our dancing friends to join us to celebrate 15 whole years of Boggarts Breakfast. It rained on us as we danced in Sheffield city centre but we cared not a jot. We had fun, we caught up, we ate, we drank, we had lots of good laugh!
Five Rivers invited us to dance in Sheffield city centre to mark the end of the Yorkshire leg of the Tour De France. Here are a few photos of us that a friend of the side has kindly donated. Thanks Oliver Thompson!
We felt very privileged to be able to dance in this venue and it was pretty fun, if unusual, performing to a Marvin Gaye track alongside some northern soul dancers.
A thoroughly enjoyable week of dancing by the seaside, though a little too hot at times for all our black gear! Our friends Gog Magog and Berkshire Bedlam were there too so we could go to each other\'s workshops and gatecrash dances and stuff. Photography by Paul Clayden
Our first time at the delightful (if very warm) Ely Folk Festival. We greatly enjoyed ourselves, and nobody died of heat stroke, which is amazing, really.

At this event we thought it appropriate to debut our \'hybrid kit\'; a combination of Boggarts gear and steampunky attire. For facepaint we tried to fit in with the lace theme of the evening. We were most pleased with the result, hence the album descending quickly into a photoshoot.
