Metal and Morris at West Street Live

Something very strange happened at West Street Live on Sunday evening. A trio of bands played an evening of folk, progressive and alternative metal, and between sets a whole bunch of Boggarts danced for the audience's pleasure.

Joining forces with Northern Oak and Setsudan, some of Sheffield's best kept secrets, were Andraste from Manchester and Boggart's Breakfast, a border morris team based in Hillsborough with a thing for blue faces, dark attire and a flair for the sinister.

The bands were on fine form, and the crowd almost (well, not really) kept up with the Boggarts. The floor certainly took a beating! All the jumping, banging and clattering culminated in, quite spontaneously, an outbreak of the Waltz.

I've never been to an evening quite like it, but it's something I'd definitely go to again!
