"Gloomy" ???? Why would you say that ??
It was far from gloomy - everybody loved it...............they were willing to stay in a cold room to take part - oh, and it sometimes doesn't start until 11 pm at night.......

As for Morris, I assume you know very little about it.........But there are three teams in the village concerned and it is dearly lived by all of them.
However - Morris is not a "social event" like a Folk Club. the only people directly involved a practiced group of experts - in a Folk Club or song session, anyone can be involved and take part - a very different medium.
