Well although there is no morris in Scotland and I have never seen it performed live, I have come to enjoy watching Morris Dancing on video very much.
I love the enthusiasm of the dancers, the interest of the audiance, the "spiritual" element in the performance...it all reminds me of the wonderful atmosphere surrounding Irish street music.

I think it should be enjoyed for what it is and what it generates in the onlookers.....don't allow it to be destroyed by some political fad!

I have a video of June Tabor singing accompanyment to a dance group on a dimmly lit stage somewhere in England...it is riveting...Ake
