The Tooting and Balham Sea Cadets were regular performers at the EFDSS Albert Hall Festivals. In 1954 they performed the Flamborough Sword Dance which they reprised in 1957 together with a rapper sword dance.
However in 1957 and 1958 they appeared performing the Sailor’s Hornpipe.
Unfortunately we know nothing more of the dance they performed. Although the festival was reviewed in the Times in 1958, no mention was made of the performance of the Sailors’ Hornpipe.
