It's Shropshire Day here in the Shire! What could be a better way to celebrate than with some Border Morris action... The Shropshire Bedlams seen here dancing at the Three Tuns in Bishop's Castle #Shropshire #BorderMorris #ShropshireDay #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin
Mixed media drawing of a Morris Dancer. They are dressed in Motley and have a feathered too hat, belled knee garters, and a stave. Their shadow doesn’t look as if it belongs to them.
It’s been the Gloucester Folk Trail this weekend and town has been full of motley wearing, staff wielding, slightly terrifying Morris sides.
Here’s a demon morris dancer from a year or so ago.

One of my favourite dances - Twiglet (now much less likely to completely knacker me out since I changed the position I dance in 😂) - performed at Wickham Festival by Powderkegs.
#Morris #MorrisDancing #BorderMorris
Nicky, a white person wearing a black t shirt, black jeans and black boots. They have a black top hat decorated with lots of different items including flowers, badges, and small teddies (Pingu, Moomin and Mr Toad). They also have bell pads on their legs with yellow, orange and red ribbons. They have face paint in the same colours. Their eyes are cast downwards and their hands are resting on their stomach. They are standing on a raised stage in front of stalls selling clothes and jewellery. An intersex-inclusive pride flag is flying from one of the stalls.
Just me performing at the same event as Richard Thompson...no big deal...
Had a fabulous few days dancing with Powderkegs at Wickham Festival. It was very hot, and I am very tired, but it was a lot of fun - especially getting to dance with sides we might not […]

The Order of the Geep alternative Morris had a fun of very hot dance out at the Praze and Beeble show, (our home turf) I didn’t get many clips of us dancing apart from the final dance but did capture another stick laid to rest and the lovely Baby Geep #cornwall #morrisdancers #bordermorris #folk

Also almost a week late posting this, but here's some dancing up the sun on 1st of May with Powderkegs.

Powderkegs walking through an indoor shopping centre, in front of the Pandora shop. They wear jackets with long tatters, strips of fabric in red, orange, yellow and black, over black shirts and trousers. They wear bell pads on their legs with short tatters, and black top hats decorated with different items including ribbons, flowers and feathers. Their faces are painted in designs in the same colours as their jackets.
Morris dancers parading through a town centre street lined with shops. Cotswold dancers in white shirts and colourful baldricks wave white hankies as they dance. Powderkegs walk behind.
Four Powderkegs dancers in the road, two throw their sticks to each other and the other two tap the bottom of their sticks on the floor. Three musicians stand to the right on the pavement. On the opposite side, a line of people stand watching.
Me and another member of Powderkegs. I am holding my stick up horizontally as she clashes her stick at the centre of mine. We are both laughing.
Yes, I'm late posting these, but here's some of my favourite pictures my partner took at the JMO Day of Dance in Stockport last weekend. Fantastic day!

Members of the Shropshire Bedlams Morris Dancing group (wearing 'tatter coats' and top hats) clapping their sticks together during a dance.
Some Bank Holiday Monday Morris... The Shropshire Bedlams dancing today between the showers outside the Castle Inn, Wigmore, in #Herefordshire - #BorderMorris #MorrisDancing
Four Powderkegs dancers. They wear jackets with long tatters, strips of fabric in red, orange, yellow and black, over black shirts and trousers. They wear bell pads on their legs with short tatters, and black top hats decorated with different items including ribbons, flowers and feathers. Their faces are painted in designs in the same colours as their jackets. They carry short sticks. They are leaping up in the air with arms wide, facing each other in pairs.
Powderkegs band, in a row in front of a road. They wear the same kit as the dancers.
Bollin Morris. Their kit is like Powderkegs', but in blues and greens. Eight dancers face each other in pairs, clashing long sticks.
Lenny, a sleepy springer spaniel stretched out amongst music bags and boxes. He wears a coat made of tatters to match Powderkegs.
Great afternoon out at the Northumberland Arms in Marple Bridge yesterday, with Powderkegs and Bollin Morris. Featuring levitation and a sleepy dog.

Practice day with The Order of the Geep, Alternative Morris, one more practice before we are out in the wild for the first of our dance outs this year! #moreisdancing #morris #dance #practice #bordermorris
A large group of morris dancers and musicians sitting and standing on a roadside. They are dressed in jackets with long tatters, strips of fabric in different colours, or many different badges. They have hats decorated with items including ribbons, flowers and feathers. Their faces are painted in different designs in similar colours to the rest of their kit. Powderkegs are on the left, wearing reds, oranges, yellows and black. Stone the Crows are in the middle, wearing black and purple. Clerical Error are on the right, wearing red, green, yellow and black. Clerical Error also have a large red dragon puppet that one of the dancers wears on their back, and a Welsh flag.
Powderkegs are off to Chester today to dance with Clerical Error and Stone the Crows. This time last year was only my second ever dance out, and this is the first time I'll be re-visiting an event, which feels good. And we get to dance during a partial eclipse! […]
