Isca Morrismen 1999 Czech Festival
Pictures from Pisek

With the festival in full swing, it's time to put on one of our one hour concert spots, this time in the Palacky park. After a warm up off we go

Pisek Palacky ParkPisek Palacky Park

By now we've got a large appreciative audience so it must be time for some audience participation. I know, let's dance Beaux of London City and then, since we've shot the musician, it's time for the ritual cry of "proboha proboha, co jsme to udelali?" (Oh dear oh dear what have we done etc etc).

Pisek Palacky Park

Lead on the willing young lady volunteer to give us all the kiss of life (well who said we shouldn't enjoy ourselves) and it's on with the show

And all too soon it's finale time, but not before making the Czech army band wait (well they did arrive too early!)

Next spot - it must be Pavlickovo Square

And now for a spot of travelling around Pisek, starting at the brewery and orphanage in Zvikov

and afterwards, perhaps a quick photo opportunity with the local mayor

then we're off to the town of Trebon, passing through Ceske Budejovice en route, (the home of the original and tasty Budweiser real ale) and into a lovely old square where I suppose the Squire will have to dance a jig

Before we head back home, let's go and dance once more in Pisek, right in the middle of the Kamenny bridge

and then reluctantly it's time to return to Wales.

Pisek Departure

Thanks to all our many new friends that we made in Pisek for the pictures and articles and especially to Hana Bruncvikova for the translations; we look forward to returning.
