Morris Movie

Several people have asked me if I've seen the trailer for A Life With Bells On.

I was actually at Wimborne Folk Festival when they filmed part of it.  I don't know if they shot any crowd scenes, but it seems likely there might be some.  If you ever see the film, look out for me with a collecting tin dressed as in my icon, and Richard and Henry dressed in extremely bright clothes, also with collecting tins.  (If you don't know what they look like, the ginger beards provide a clue).

It was interesting to watch the filming. There were some give-aways that you weren't watching a real morris team, though it would probably take a morris dancer to spot them.

I'd say from the trailer that it looks like it should be an enjoyable feel-good commedy and I'll certainly watch it if I get the chance.  (The only screening information I could see on the site was for the Dorset mobile cinema.  Does anyone know if it's getting a mainstream release?)

Oh, and spot the bit where he's dancing by the head of the Cerne Abbas Giant!
