On the Move

Posted by Sas McMorrine, on 16 May 2010

It is difficult to write this blog with out creating some sort of jealousy. I have seen a run through of the show!! And yes it is AMAZING!

The Giffords have done it again, a whole new show with suprises galore, the show is so hot they are having to hose down the sawdust after each performance. There are some familiar faces like Bibi and Bichu, the Ethiopian jugglers and Faith Elliot the cheeky musician, who this year will show you how the drums are really played.

There are also an abundance of new faces with breathtaking acts, gorgeous dancers and unbelievable horses.

Giffords Circus rolls out today for the first time. They will be leaving in convoy from Folly Farm to set up in their first sight of Gloucester, Today is one of the most exciting days of the season, getting set up in a new place, every move Toti sets out the caravans. He always changes the order around so everyone gets a new neighbour each sight which keeps it all exciting. Usually it is dark when you arrive after a move, so the next morning you wake up early to start work, open your caravan door to meet your new neighbour and start getting the tent up, it really pulls everyone together, like one big family!

Good luck Giffords. All I can say is get your tickets. This year is unmissable.
