I would love to say something about both the footage shown and Azizi's
Questions, but it is such a huge subject and I just don't have time.The only real "Morris" dancing was with sticks and it was a very
average performance of an Adderbury dance called Lad's A Bunchum.The sword dance was Rapper from the north east of England.
There is a huge difference between Country Dancing & Morris
But I suggest you go look on the web for research because there many
places information can be found.Tim Radford - ex Adderbury Morris Foreman & Squire
