Morris Dancing is dying out - Oh NO!

[di]

I had a great night out with a mate last year at a"Demon Barbers Roadshow"~a traditional folk band with a bit of rockish uumpfh(s.c.?),complete with clog dancing,Morris Dancing & Rappers. We did 1/2 consider joining up with our local group,but realised it involved a bit more energy than weekend pub crawls!
I find it a bit sad that it's considered an out-dated tradition for wimps....some of the moves are far from effortless... think it would be just perfect as part of 2012 opening cermony!

I thought I'd included a link there to their website,but obviously not...if interested just google the demon barbers

Not all Morris dancers are middle aged hanky wavers!

Oh my, there are two things you should never try:

Incest and morris dancing.

oh come now PLW, surely it would be fun to watch this at Twickers - perfomed for the NZers .....erm I mean the morris dancing obviously

I wonder how many sceptics would dare to have a go at this 'bit of stick waving' with not a hanky in sight.
