Photographer's Note
Another shot from Sidmouth on a very grey day!
We were there for the day to see and hear the delights of the Annual Sidmouth Folk Festival. I have shared shots from this festival in previous years, but there are always new groups/troupes to see,
so I thought I would share a picture of this dance troupe, resplendent in their red, green and black.
I have scanned the internet for more information about this group with no success.
Thanks for looking.

The parade added colors to the street scenery under a grey overcast, jean.
A fine capture of those guys in red and green. I can imagine hearing the tune while they stride.
Good afternoon,
ike

Hello Jean,
The participants in the festival bring lots of colour to the grey and cloudy day. The green and red costumes stand out very well here. Good photo and well composed.

Hi Jean
A good shot of this colourful troupe fitting the frame front to end in a diagonal fashion to give good focus and complete the context of the photograph - full of local flavour, tradition and character. The exposure is pleasant on a greyish day but for me the guitarist's eye contact lifts this capture! That's precisely timed to excellent effect of a very appealing folk festival. Tx for sharing, Congrats
Best regards

Hello Jean,
The red and green costumes and faces are almost shockingly bright on this dull day in a grey town. They really made the street come alive. What a pity there is no sound file. The drab conditions could have been partially remedied if you had sacrificed some of the washed out sky, cropping maybe just above the roofs of the tent and the distant buildings. Then we would hardly have noticed the sky and the entire photo would have been bright and captured the festive mood.
Best regards,
Gert

Jean, the procession reminds the carnaval but it is actually a folk festival. The musicians wear colorful costumes, their faces are made up. They are an attraction in summer in that town. Good pov, sharp shot.

Ha! ha! Jean, so here are the bands performing at the festival.
The green and yellow costumes and face paints add a cheeriness to a scene which looks quite chilly. (It would not have worked so well had they been dressed in blue!)
The band, walking towards you works really well, the leaders strongly placed in the f/g and the rest of the troupe acting like a tail, leading us backwards, into the whole scene.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jean,
So these were the Morris dancers who were attracting all the crowds in your last picture!
This is a remarkably colourful group, especially with their rather spooky painted faces, and you have captured them perfectly here, their strong colours standing out vividly against the somewhat grey surroundings.
Brilliant!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. A quick "Google" suggested to me that this group might just be the Alton Morris - what do you think?

Hello Jean,
I remember a few years ago I took a series of photos in Hasting of such a festival.
It was called Jack in the Green and there too the bands were colourfully dressed with red and green faces. Despite the drizzly weather it was a happy afternoon.
Excellent work
Have a good Sunday, groet Rob

Hello Jean,
Beautiful picture of the festive mood in this group.
The opponents red and green form the main colours and make the group immediatley very clearly present.
The spectators will of course have heard it much earlier.
Best regards, Paul
