Treewind, if you Contacted a folk club/festival organiser,and was told, no its against our policy to book female singers,would you be annoyed?
Morris dancing is the only form of traditional music that operates a Gender BIAS.
I am talking about equal opportunities,that people should not be excluded from dancing because of their gender,that sides should be made up of the best dancers, regardless of their gender.
I as a member of the public like to see a good display,I would rather see a good mixed morris side,rather than a bad Male Morris side,
The Snail,thats why a lot of women sides were formed originally[1970s],so that they could dance ,because they were not allowed to dance with the men[where have you been,or maybe you werent born then].
