Love that Joy, my grandad was a morris dancer. I can't put one foot after the other, which is a bone of contention with Sheila, 'I can't understand it, dancing should be in your blood!'
There is a tune called (I think) Princess Royal which would go well with a sort of ritual staff-fight. I'm pretty sure John Kirkpatrick will have recorded it. My old Gran used to call it 'Yards of pudding and yards of pie'
