As I used to live in Greenfield, nr Oldham, I am especially enraptured with this rendition. Thank you so much lads. I now live in Norwich, but this brought back happy memories of Saddleworth and your ineffable prowess. Thank you.

This was the first time I had seen Saddleworth and they are very impressive with both their kit and dancing.

Morris dancing has changed a lot since I left England in 1979. The obligatory outfits used to be all white with one or two other colours. And I don't recall ever seeing the flower-festooned hats. I fully approve of the changes though.

i have read books that mention Morris Dancers, and I've always wondered what it was. Thank you.
