About

This was the beginning of the Competition and is for a single dancer with a maximum of one musician. We have the one musician rule as John was a member of the Seven Champions and we had the one musician rule and as John was also a member of Mr Jorrocks and the majority of the jigs in the competition are Cotswold we feel we are covering both of John’s dancing passions.

John was such an exellent jig dancer that it seemed the best way to remember him. He won a Jig Competition which was run at Maidstone Folk Day. His favourite jig was the Nutting Girl. At the first competition, which was held in the Council Chamber at Sidmouth, the lights dipped as the one of the competitors started dancing the Nutting Girl.
