#MorrisFedevent
A Morris Ring event. Open to all members of teams from the Morris Ring, Morris Federation, Open Morris, or independent.
You need to be comfortable dancing set dances from at least one Cotswold tradition. The sessions are as much about dancing well as about dancing jigs, so one frequent attendee refers to it as "an MoT for my Morris".
BOOKINGS OPEN. Click on the name of the event for more info.
Our hosts will take you through some of their experiences of teaching morris and maypole to primary school age children, and answer your questions on how you too can go about it. Presentations for approx 1 hour, then 30 mins for Q&A.

An event hosted and led by John Kirkpatrick.
Sunday 25th February 2024 in Bishops Castle, Shropshire.
"Come and learn from somebody who has been Morris Dancing, playing for it, and thinking about it since he was twelve years old. After over 60 years, he must know something! This will mainly be useful for people who already play for this kind of dancing, but anybody who enjoys bashing out a tune will be most welcome. We aim to cover all styles of Morris Dancing. Acoustic instruments only, please - no electronics or percussion. Tuition will be both by ear and from printed music, which will be available in advance."
Like the "No Such Thing as a Fish" shows and podcast, but with a Folk twist. Our panelists bring along their 4 fun facts about Folk, share them and add to them with hilarious results.
