‘Fiddler in the Mall’
Hurrying, scurrying, round the shops
Crowds go hunting for hats or tops
Emptying out the family coffers
On footwear, hardware, and bargain offers
Searching for health and beauty aids –
Trainers, stickers, or razor blades
Jewellery, perfume, or toddlers’ toys
Joggers, jigglers, girls and boys
All stood frozen in Union Square
When a fiddler played in the entrance there
Till bobbin about like a dolphin’s pillow
In an Orcadian strip the willow
Shopper and strollers joined the dance
Linking arms in a rhythmic trance
Pensioners, children, in-betweens
In t-shirts, leggings, and torn blue jeans
Denim-skirted or business-suited
Barefoot girls and the leather booted
Joined in the music one and all
When the fiddler played in the shopping mall.

Many thanks for a great Flash Mob on Saturday! The dancing was brilliant and the music was superb, even if the air fiddling was on the thin side. Union Square folk were delighted and took photos for their own use.
I’m confident that loads of good publicity went out, and the launch concert at the LT later in the day was a treat, another great turnout.
When we get to the Convention proper, 14-18 July, I know we can count on excellent local support.
Please forward this message to anyone and everyone you know who was there and took part.
All the best,
Ian
PS Please let me know of any photos or web-based records - photos/video.
PPS There are loads and loads of dance events at NAFCo – 27 workshops, several dance artists, and four late night dances at the Lemon Tree – 22:30-01:00.
