This is Dorset -- Singing, dancing and making merry THE New Scorpion Band will be presenting their new Christmas show 'The Holly and The Ivy' in the theatre of Shaftesbury Arts Centre tomorrow (Saturday, 21st) at 7.30pm. Expect plenty of involuntary toe-tapping when the group's harmony vocals move on from a collection of old English folk carols into seasonal dances, allowing the musicians' historical and traditional instruments to come into their own. The Holly and the Ivy is an opportunity to explore the long memory of Old Father Christmas in the company of the Wassailers, an unsettling Green Man from Co Durham, Thomas Hardy's Old Andrey, the medieval Beverley Waits, the Fezziwigs and a splendid assortment of bagpipes, fiddles, flutes and drums.
