Bow Brook Border Morris
Великобритания
Добавлен 25 апр 2022
A traditional welsh border Morris dancing side from East Worcestershire. We meet once a week, on Wednesday evenings, to practice dances in a wonderfully atmospheric, rustic barn near Upton Snodsbury. We are a member of the Morris Federation.
We dance using hazel sticks wearing painted (leafy, green and black) faces, colourful autumnal rag jackets and top hats decorated with pheasant feathers, flowers and/or leaves. Everyone has their own slightly different customised look!
The traditional dancers of old were farm hands who had no work, they danced to entertain the villagers who gave them money, this was seen as begging and highly illegal when the police appeared the dancers would scarper, washing their faces in the nearest trough and reversing their rag jackets, tatters (bits of material were sown inside jackets for warmth in winter).

Bow Brook Border Morris dancing Just As The Tide Was Flowing (Tides) at Bishops Castle, Sept 2023
Worcestershire based Bow Brook Border Morris is based in Upton Snodsbury.
Here they are dancing the popular dance Just As The Tide Was Flowing (written by the Witchmen). The tune is an instrumental version of the traditional song of the same name. We particularly love the energetic flowing "chorus"!
This was outside the church in Bishops Castle, Shropshire, as part of the Morris Federation day of dance held there in September 2023.
