There are several variations on the style of our Cotswold Morris dancing across Europe, North Africa and into Asia. My money is on the Moorish connection but I guess the source could be almost anywhere.
Our side's first attempt at a mumming play will be performed in January with half the cast being in their teens and the other half just a little bit older - fifties to seventies to be precise.
One of the things I love best is that it breaks down barriers of all types. We have no sign of ageism or sexism, no concerns about who earns most money, who has the biggest house, or anything else of that nature and I count myself lucky to have hundreds of friends, all over the UK, simply because of the morris.
