Strictly Come Morris Dancing...

March 2020, we were as a company reeling from having to cancel our first full scale live show, and had pivoted briefly to audio only live streams on YouTube. We had tried another audio platform briefly, but it had been disappointing in terms of quality.
After a series of readings of The Wonderful Year, Robert did a live exploring session on Kemp's Nine Days Wonder. There were more to follow the week after, but by then we had started our zoom exploring sessions, and these live streams stopped.
Till now, the audio hasn't been on any of our platforms, except possibly our patreon feed - but now it has been added to the podcast. Apart from some cuts advertising now very past future events, the recording has been left as it was recorded on the afternoon of Friday 20th March 2020.
Will Kemp, an actor and clown, decides to hold a publicity stunt and cash in on his fame by Morris dancing all the way from London to Norwich. He wrote a pamphlet on the journey, performed live! You can follow the text at http://www.luminarium.org/renascence-editions/kemp.html.

(We're not sure if we archived this for our patrons, but if we did they got it four and half years earlier than here. Apart from it being on YouTube. So, even if we did, it doesn't really count. That said, usually patrons get these things super early. So...)
