GUEST,Folkiedave Has morris become mere 'fun'? (61* d) RE: Has morris become mere 'fun'? 26 Mar 11

I think you have mis read the signs and mis-remembered the past Mike and I would be interested to know how your attitude has been formed.

I go around a lot of morris events - though not dancing nowadays and in the past two years have been to Sidmouth and Whitby as a member of a booked team.

I think the younger dancers that have joined established teams such as Great Western, Berkshire Bedlams, Hammersmith are fine. The ones that have broken off and formed their own teams Jig Crew for example are splendid. Many of the women's teams - whatever dances they do are simply great, Chinwrde being a fine example or Windsor if you like Cotswold. There is some exciting Border morris being done too.

I go to a lot of festivals of various sizes and the best teams I see there are as good as any I have ever seen.

So whence your attitude Mike?
