CLACKETY-JANGLING 'TACULOUS!
Whoa! Just hang on a blinksnap, what the drifflejubbs be going on here? Some excrimbly clackety-janglers on the majickal-hare's blog? Have we been blog-bombed by traditional street-dancing Morris folk? Some explanation, please, good Matlock...
Well - hankies in the air and bells strapped to your legs - Matlock the hare is peffa-proud to announce that he has become a sponsor of Shrewsbury Morris - formed in 1976, providing an opportunity for both men and women to practice and perform traditional and contemporary dances in the traditional style – celebrating and keeping alive the rich heritage of our country. At present, Shrewsbury Morris is comprised of three teams: The Shrewsbury Lasses, The Bull & Pump Morris Men and Shrewsbury Clog.
And as you can see, they also have saztaculous literary taste, too....
So how has this crumlush meld come about? What forces were at work to bring together Matlock and the saztaculous world of Morris dancing? For starters, there's a shared love of tradition, of fun, of the sheer exhilaration of 'doing something different' - and of course, the ocassional guzzwort or two...
Having lived in Shrewsbury for many years, moon-turns and sun-turns, Jacqui and I have often seen the good Shrewsbury Morris about their 'clackety-jangling' in and around the town and at various country fairs. As you'd expect, they're full of vibrant, energetic fun - keeping alive a tradition that never fails to attract appreciative, smiling crowds, wherever they dance.
As we cautiously pid-padded into the world of Twitter to begin promoting Matlock, we encountered an online community of saztaculous 'clackety-janglers' who all seemed to share the same daft sense of humour as we did, with an appreciation for whimsy, and also Matlock the Hare. Perhaps something about a majickal-hare had clicked with them, too - as they have always been peffa-supportive folk, which has really meant a lot to us over the last two years...
...indeed, we sometimes began to wonder if it meant more to Matlock than to us, as he never shied away from griffling to the folk he always describes as 'crumlush-janglers'...
And as you can see, they also have saztaculous literary taste, too....

So it didn't take a lot for Matlock to convince us of the wisdom of becoming a sponsor for Shrewsbury Morris - they do ganticus amounts for the local community, have an extremely high profile online Twitter presence @shrewsmorris - and are crumlushly pleasant and supportive folk to have the occasional guzzwort or two with!
...And as a mutually beneficial arrangement, that definitely has to one with saztaculous bells on!!!
Please visit Shrewsbury Morris website for more details about them, their up-coming appearances - and if you're looking for one of the most excrimbly ways to get fit and dance - you could even join them!!!

This is a very different kind of dance they are doing. I liked your post and it appears that you have a great time enjoying with them and dancing along on the beat.
