Featured side: Clerical Error

Clerical Error are from North Wales: Border Morris dancers with attitude!

We first danced our traditional stick dances in 1991, wearing then, as we do now, our distinctive black kit, our top hats decorated with daffodils and ribbons of green, red and gold and our gaiters with bells. We can’t go anywhere quietly!

As well as our traditional dances we dance new dances and are also street entertainers, performing both traditional Mummers’ plays and our own new plays and tricks. Our fine team, with its excellent dancers and band of super talented musicians, is joined by Idris the dragon, a lean, mean modern beast.
