Rochester Sweeps festival is one of the regular Kent festivals that takes place each year on the May Bank holiday weekend. It is a great musical and dance experience with performers along the length of the High Street. It is also a real ale lovers paradise as there is normally a beer festival and many pubs stock up for the Morris dancers attending the festival.

In 2010 I used the (then) new Canon 550D to shoot some video of some of the dance sides performing. You can see the
