I'd like to advance a totally spurious theory about Black Pig Morris.

They hail from D H Lawrence country and channel the spirits of their ancestors who went down pit, holding their snap tins, helmets and lamps, and delved in the earth for black gold. The belligerent stick dancing is believed to recreate the ambience of Eastwood on a Saturday night.

I haven't however thought up a theory about their associated belly dancing side - feel free.

Incidentally some members of Black Pig employ a sort of silver & black face makeup which could be the way ter go me duck.
