Thread Name: Folklore: border morris
Subject: RE: Folklore: border morris
I play percussion and prick balloons ( for Pop ! Goes The Weasel !!) for a Border ( Death Before Cotswold ) side from Winchcombe in Gloucestershire , and believe me a lot of hard work,imaginative choreography , and musicianship go into our performances .Yes,there are points where yelling and noisy stick-clashing, not to mention rude and suggestive posturing ,have a part to play but generally I think that "Happenstance" is a well-balanced (except for me !) and,as far as I know "tradional" Border Morris side. If not, never mind ,we'll keep on doing it anyway , so there !
