loved it and certainly brings Beltaine to mind when played loved to see that it was not forgotten that women are important in the eternal dance between the wild, naughty and the catching of the fresh nymph of life loved it xxx
About 10 years ago I helped do a tv programme for denham studios (BBC southwest ) about a group like this ( I was the sound recordist ) .... its got me wondering if it is the same group. Definately the same area. We done interviews on the history of it etc.... and they were great people to talk to. Forgot about it all till I see this.... thanks for bringing back some forgotten memories.
Gods living in the earth hear us! Really primal sound to the tune. Rudimentary lyric with basic 5ths. Fancy it because of the catchy way the B part to A part comes in half a beat earlier.
I am a music teacher who does a huge dance/movement program in the spring with my 5th graders. We would love to do this dance! Can you tell me where I can find the music? I looked online, but I do not know where the actual song is. I'm also in US. Is it available on iTunes? Can you tell me the name of this dance as well? Thanks!
Fascinating to see the dancers all blacked up and using the masking traditions of the Black Moors of Africa and still adopting their stick dancing traditions.
This is beyond amazing. What an amazing mesmerising tune and great dancing. Perfection.
All I can say really after that performance is "loved it, more please "

Loved this take on the Beltane with that "border" morris. Loved the music too. Nicely done.
Very addictive tune.
Beautifully done with comparitively gentle music to the usual strong melody and heavy beats of border. Very nice.
It was written by our former Lead Fiddle player Jackie. Its not commercially as sheet music available Im afraid. It is on our cds :)

Thank you very much, we love doing it
Wayhay the Morris men! Er, persons.
Not a fan of Morris, but this was outstanding. Well done.
This tune is very enchanting, what is it called please?
love this dance; i plan to steal it for my border side!!! if stonehenge is the name of the dance what is the tune?
very cool dance, and good videography
Wow, these Morris dancers really shift it! I'd love to see them nearer Stonehenge! Are you available for hire for events, etc?
