In many quarters, Morris Dancing is unfashionable. Long may it remain so! In the last fifteen years or so, like many of the best traditions, it has re-invented itself in many new interpretations, some rooted in the past, many not! It’s time for some new ones, too! I’ve been a (non-participant) fan for many years. As a pastime (I even once heard it called a sport!) it is one of the last resorts of the true English eccentric. For colour, spectacle and genuinely nice people, it is hard to beat. My galleries here contain a selection of pictures of some of the characters I’ve encountered. |
