Morris dancing as seen by a morris dancer.
I've been morris dancing for nearly 40 years and will pass on dancing comments,
songs, music and other morris dancing views from my dancer perspective.

What made you join the “Morris”? (2)
Saw them on holiday wife set me up.
Tom was on holiday with his wife and some friends, they came across some morris men dancing and having fun. The wives took a bit of a shine to these virile (?) young men and made a few comments that the husbands thought needed a response.
So on the quiet they spoke to one of the dancers and asked if there was a group near to where they lived. Well of course there was. Bit like ants, there everywhere.
A few weeks later they went along, mainly to stir up a response from their wives, but to their surprise they really enjoyed themselves and went back the following week and the week after.
Not all of them stayed the course but one did and to this day his reply when told “not Morris again” is, well you've only yourself to blame!
