Are some of you confusing Morris dancers with historical re-enactment societies?
All the earlier dances, tunes and instruments must have been invented by somebody at some time.
Today's dancers are not dancing in the fourteenth century, or the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries, or even the twentieth century. They are dancing now. Why shouldn't they devise new figures and use modern instruments and tunes?
