Earlsdon Morris!

[watervole]

 It is possible that I may have mentioned Earlsdon Morris before - if I haven't, then I should have.

Quite simply, they are the best North West Morris side in the country (well, of those that I've seen, but I've seen quite a lot)

They have the big advantage of having young male dancers performing in North West morris's home territory of Lancashire.  I saw them when I went to Saddleworth Rushcart and they totally lived up to my expectations.

I dance North West with Quayside Cloggies (see icon).  I know good dancing when I see it.  Cloggies are good.  Earlsdon are better.

Here's a trailer for the new Earlsdon DVD:

IF one of my family buys it NOW (big hint) then it will be ready and waiting for my birthday.

Their dancing might be great, but their video editing needs a little bit of work...! ;-)

All I know about folk and morris dancing I learned from Elsie Oxenham, I admit... this is rather fascinating :)
