In some places, when you start playing traditional music in public you get arrested... In Québec people enjoy it and start dancing!

Yeah, in some places you'd be arrested for dancing...

I know the spoons, the bones but what instrument (are) the souliers (in the list of gear )- was it the  step dancer's double cloggy accoutrements? >:E

And the voices -- for next UK effort - would have been even nicer with more accompaniment as song developed.

(just in case, like me, many of us in England are thinking what a great wheeze it would be to emulate Commando Trad and do the same here
...
wouldn't it be best to use some English tunes rather than Canadienne

Of course! My first thought was it would be good to do it here, and it never occurred to me to do it with anything other than English tunes.

Mind you, half of Joe Public passing by would still think we were playing Irish or Scottish music. I bet the Canadians don't have that problem with recognising their own culture.

We already have this quintessentially :|bl  English thing.

Yes, the souliers are the shoes. In québécois language, the step dancing is called gigue (pronounced like 'jig' except with a soft 'j' sound [ʒ], not 'dj'). Someone who dances la gigue is a gigueur or a gigueux for a man, or gigueuse for a woman.

And here was me thinking winkle-pickers on a gigolo!
