Julian was a member of Manchester Morris Men, then left them to form the Colne Royal Morris. He did some collecting in and around Colne and Nelson in Lancashire - social dances as well as morris. He also had a folk dance band and was respected for his research into historical dance. He passionately believed that the north-west morris should be danced in the NW and by men, rather than women. Not always a popular stance to take! He died a few days before his 90th birthday.
