For our next summer tour we were delighted to welcome back Tiger Feet after their tour with us last summer in the Wye Valley. This week we travelled over to the villages of Mynyddbach and Shirenewton set on the main road from Usk through to Chepstow where we visited two fine old pubs, starting at . . .
8.30 p.m. Tan House, Shirenewton 
The Tan House is a traditional village pub and a fine hostellerie set in the village of Shirenewton, long a favourite haunt of the Isca men. The pub is said to have been named after G. Thomas, a tanner who lived there in 1715. You'll find a good pint here in this large pub set on the main road in the middle of the village. After a spell of dancing and some light refreshments, we moved down the hill and on to . . .
 
9.30 p.m. Carpenters Arms, Shirenewton
An interesting old pub on the bend of the road in Mynyddbach, just outside Shirenewton. The Carpenters has lovely old flagstone floors, beams and seven rooms resulting from the merger of three cottages over the years. A fine selection of 5 real ales and a collection of over 50 malt whiskies, along with good food, make this pub well worth a visit.
 
Do come and see us at some stage and if you have a liking for tradition then you will be made very welcome. For those males amongst you who enjoy a pint or two and would like to keep fit then you will be ideal as a dancer.
 
If you are a musician of either sex who enjoys folk music, then again you will be well received, so whatever instrument you play, provided that it is portable, come and join us and learn our music. Come along and we'll ensure that you enjoy yourself and hopefully come back for more as we tour our area over the summer months.
If you require any more information then please check our Contact and Feedback page for our current officers telephone numbers or email us at our address: Enquiries 'at' Isca-Morrismen.com. We are a lively bunch and travel a fair bit with our activities, both in the UK and Overseas, so come on - contact us today and join in the fun, you'll not regret it!

This year we are delighted that our traditional dancing programme is being sponsored by local Welsh Breweries, producers of excellent real ale to whom we are grateful for their wholehearted support.
Please enjoy their real ales and visit their websites to learn more by clicking on the pictures.
We also acknowledge the support and encouragement of The Mount Pleasant in Old Cwmbran, our after-practice venue during the winter.
