Morris Dancing

[BrightonCottager]

This is the Hammersmith side - these 2 chaps danced by themselves, which I've never seen before. There was a good mix of Cotswold tradition (like these and the Brighton Morris), women's Morris and country sides and 'modern' Mummers with mixed and single gender sides. And some very bemused foreign onlookers. Next year, I think I might do a pub crawl with them.

[Questions]

I was attacked by a Morris dancer when I was 12. It’s made me very cautious around them.

Morris dancing goes hand in hand with drinking lots of real ale I was once told.

Think I`d like to give it a go.

Come on, you can't leave us hanging like that! Did he flick you with his hanky?
