From Broadland Sport by Nicholas Everitt, 1902 (CH B11-1-1b) Visiting first the low-roofed kitchen, we watched for upwards of half an hour the many and varied step dances of the Horning rustics. An American hand organ* provided the music and a liberal supply of nutty brown ale, with a dash of gin in it, promoted the energy of the dancers to an extent amazing to onlookers.' *If he is referring to a barrel organ, or a harmonium, they are most unsuitable for accompanying step dancing. It was more likely to have been a melodeon, which Mr Everitt had probably never seen before. AH
