The History Of Morris Dancing and The Morris Dancing Year
Why is it called Morris? When and where did it start? Why do they do it? The questions you have never asked – answered!
Our guest John Frearson has danced the Morris for nearly 30 years and was the Bagman (National Secretary) of the Morris Ring for seven. John will give a fully illustrated talk on the history and the many forms of Morris dancing through the year. He will add something on the Emberton Morris Men, who were an early revival dancing side in the post WW1 period who became well-known at local festivals. John holds some of their archives, which should be of local interest.
