Thread Name: Morris price
Subject: RE: Morris price
Isn't the usual currency for morris events beer rather than cash? Most "dancing out" at pubs, fairs, etc doesn't command a fee at all. Men will tend to drink more beer than women, so there you go.

I tend to agree that there's some trolling going on here, as it's not a clear-cut matter; all-female dance sides tend to be clog/garland etc rather than the more recognisable Cotswold or Border morris, and these days many Border and some Cotswold sides are mixed. Some men's dance sides have female musicians, and vice versa. I simply don't think differentiated payments are possible, let alone an issue.
