List of Morris and Sword Sides by Dance Style
Last updated: Thu Jun 26 12:26:06 EDT 2003
This page is a catalog of information about sides (teams) that perform
morris, sword, and other related English performance-oriented folk dance
styles.
This page is the morris section of:
-
The
World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Dance
- which is, as the title suggests, the "dance" section of The
World-Wide Web Virtual Library.
Dance section URI:
http://www.tmn.com/Artswire/www/dance/dance.html
Dance section maintained by: ArtsWire
(kanter@tmn.com) and DanceUSA.
To add or update a listing, please fill out the morris side information form.
This is an alphabetical list (to the extent that my computer can
remember the alphabet) of morris dance and sword dance teams (sides),
arranged by dance style. Sides that perform more than one style are
listed separately under each. If your side is not listed, this is
because the maintainer of these pages doesn't know what your side's
dance style is. Please fill out the side information form to submit this
information. I also maintain an alphabetical listing
of morris dance & sword dance teams (sides), and a listing of morris dance
& sword dance teams (sides) by country.

Miscellany: We dance mostly Cotswold, but have very catholic tastes in what we do and how we do it. We consider that the enjoyment is the most important thing about what we do - whether this is by those watching or those dancing. A lot of energy is put into our dancing and we have always had a reputation for the vigour that we exhibit dancing, eating or drinking. The dance truly comes alive with White Horse - prowess is noted through out the country.
We dance widely across west and south Wiltshire and into north Dorset. Our members are a divers and eclectic lot ranging from quarry men through the inevitable teachers, valuers, army officers, council officers, retired engineers, surveyors, plumbers, electrical engineers, professional anglers, farmers, printers and many others. We are always keen to welcome new members whether they are dancers or beginners.
A good article about us can be found on www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/villages/morris.shtml. This demonstrates the power of our dancing and we are always willing to proivde personal exhibitions or consultations on request or by appointment. Unfortunately we are a shy side and the BBC did not have any pictures of us, so they adorned the article with a whole rag bag of other lesser sides.

Gender: men
Organization(s): Morris Ring
Dance type(s): Cotswold morris, border morris, mumming

Kit/Livery: All white costume of trousers and shirt with black shoes, with crossed baldrics (green/blue/green - to refelct the river Wylye between the Wiltshire Downs and Salisbury Plain) with a central rossette front and back showing the old (pre-1760) Westbury White Horse (white)on a green hillside under a blue sky with a ruff of green white and blue.
Primary contact: Bob Hill (Tel.: +44 (0)1985 248437; Email: hillbeild@ndirect.co.uk)
Practice Day & time: Wednesday at 20 -22.00 hr
Miscellany: We dance mostly Cotswold, but have very catholic tastes in what we do and how we do it. We consider that the enjoyment is the most important thing about what we do - whether this is by those watching or those dancing. A lot of energy is put into our dancing and we have always had a reputation for the vigour that we exhibit dancing, eating or drinking. The dance truly comes alive with White Horse - prowess is noted through out the country.
We dance widely across west and south Wiltshire and into north Dorset. Our members are a divers and eclectic lot ranging from quarry men through the inevitable teachers, valuers, army officers, council officers, retired engineers, surveyors, plumbers, electrical engineers, professional anglers, farmers, printers and many others. We are always keen to welcome new members whether they are dancers or beginners.
A good article about us can be found on www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/villages/morris.shtml. This demonstrates the power of our dancing and we are always willing to proivde personal exhibitions or consultations on request or by appointment. Unfortunately we are a shy side and the BBC did not have any pictures of us, so they adorned the article with a whole rag bag of other lesser sides.

Miscellany: A shadowy organisation of no fixed abode, North British have only one officer, the Editor. This says it all. Despite (or perhaps because of) the presence of a bank manager in the side, North British have rejected formal savings and accounting measures in favour of a carrier bag in the Editor's sock drawer.
The team's existence is intimately tied up with the Saddleworth Rushcart, although the Saddleworth men would (rightly) deny all responsibility. Nevertheless, the primary purpose of North British is to perform the sword dances of northern Britain (Yorkshire being rejected as too far south), preferably to new audiences, and if possible in the presence of cask-conditioned beer.

Miscellany: A shadowy organisation of no fixed abode, North British have only one officer, the Editor. This says it all. Despite (or perhaps because of) the presence of a bank manager in the side, North British have rejected formal savings and accounting measures in favour of a carrier bag in the Editor's sock drawer.
The team's existence is intimately tied up with the Saddleworth Rushcart, although the Saddleworth men would (rightly) deny all responsibility. Nevertheless, the primary purpose of North British is to perform the sword dances of northern Britain (Yorkshire being rejected as too far south), preferably to new audiences, and if possible in the presence of cask-conditioned beer.

Miscellany: Kettle Bridge Clogs are named after an old wooden bridge which used to cross the R Medway south west of Maidstone. The bridge was demolished in the mid 1990's, and replaced with a sttel girder eyesore. We can still be seen on May Day (about 7.15 pm) each year, starting the dancing season by processing across the river and then at a nearby pub.
Since the late 1980's, we have danced at festivals and other events all over the UK and, as well, have travelled extensively abroad, including Hong Kong, Turkey, USA and Canada plus a number of European countries.

Miscellany: We dance mostly Cotswold, but have very catholic tastes in what we do and how we do it. We consider that the enjoyment is the most important thing about what we do - whether this is by those watching or those dancing. A lot of energy is put into our dancing and we have always had a reputation for the vigour that we exhibit dancing, eating or drinking. The dance truly comes alive with White Horse - prowess is noted through out the country.
We dance widely across west and south Wiltshire and into north Dorset. Our members are a divers and eclectic lot ranging from quarry men through the inevitable teachers, valuers, army officers, council officers, retired engineers, surveyors, plumbers, electrical engineers, professional anglers, farmers, printers and many others. We are always keen to welcome new members whether they are dancers or beginners.
A good article about us can be found on www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/villages/morris.shtml. This demonstrates the power of our dancing and we are always willing to proivde personal exhibitions or consultations on request or by appointment. Unfortunately we are a shy side and the BBC did not have any pictures of us, so they adorned the article with a whole rag bag of other lesser sides.
