Subject: RE: what do you think of morris offspring???
Without people like Morris Offspring, Morris dancing would be breathing a quiet last sigh of death within the confines of old people's residential homes (slight exaggeration, but you get the picture). It's great to see this traditional dance being interpreted in new and exciting ways. It proves that it's alive and not dying the death of so many other traditions that lose their meaning because they refuse to relate to the people living today!

And no I didn't quote from an Arts Council brochure. I do happen to be educated to degree standard though! And I enjoy experiencing different art forms when I get the chance.

Actually, I used to enjoy techno and put on illegal raves in the forests near Barcelona. However we did clean up after ourselves! Now, I'm older, I've started going to folk festivals and drinking ale instead!
