Hey Jake!

Maple Morris, who are canadian / North east American, were over here in the UK last Summer and did a show called Must Come Down with Morris Offspring. I get the impression that they came together out of
The Country Dance and Song Society, which holds folk camps etc over there.

Pecsaetan ourselves are off to Toronto Morris Men's Ale this September, and we have hosted Orange Peel Morris five years or so ago...

The Mainly Morris Dancing Site was created by John Maher, who was the overseas bagman of the Morris Ring until he sadly passed this summer just gone. But that post still exists - so maybe talking to the person who is now responsible for it may give some further insights?
