That looks VERY interesting!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

My thought exactly.

To me its got a Voodoo, 'Day of the Dead', Haitian, 'Black Magic' vibe about it...but you're going to tell us it was taken at the back of a pub in Surrey? !

It was a very interesting and unusual evening. It is Old Glory Molly waiting in the corner and yes they are quite menacing. The 7 Champions currently performing. They all dance in hob nail boots with much exaggerated marching or stomping. They do demand payment, Morris dancing with menaces!
Molly dancing is an East Anglian form of Morris/folk dancing traditionally done in the winter months.
Imbolc is the old celebration of the arriving of spring
The location is The Geldeston Locks Inn, stuck out in the middle of nowhere, next to the river Waveney surrounded by a labyrinth of ditches, dikes and flood meadows.

"Possibly the strangest experience I’ve ever had in my life.” - John Peel, BBC Radio 1 (November 2003). talking about Old Glory Molly.
