Is this as dangerous as it looks?


Not really, although it can take something of a toll on the hands.
I had my left first finger main joint ripped wide open when a sword jammed
on a nail in the stage at Durham Miners Gala during the jump figure.
I still finished the dance but the others weren't too happy about the blood 
spattered all over their white shirts.


There is also a certain excitement when a sword breaks , which happens with 
a sharp crack and no prior warning.
Strangely this doesn't happen when the swords are under maximum stress, but 
afterwards in a less stressful part of a figure.



Tho in the present context it's probably safer than admitting to liking KT 
;-)


I've always got on well with Kathryn and still get a hug and a kiss when we 
meet.

It doesn't mean I feel I have to like everything she plays tho'.

All the best,

Dave
