Thread Name: Folklore: Morris dancing costumes
Subject: RE: Folklore: Morris dancing costumes
In terms of The Revival there's been a lot of developments in recent years - and various colours of make-up too. But folklore? I wonder, although there is Carnival (Fluffy) Morris of course which isn't something that seems to figure in Folkie agendas but nevertheless is a thriving concern in the North West with real claims to folklore & tradition.

Check out Johnny Haslett's site too: http://johnnyhaslett.co.uk/ though as I recall from Georgina Boyes The Imagined Village the EFDSS sniffed at a lot of this stuff back in the day too.
