Wakefield Morris

December 2020 and I get a new subscriber to the Youtube videos on line, that makes two! Pauline has commented "Those were the days" to the video of Horwich Original at Towersy in 1990. Following the link Pauline Woods-Wilson I find Pauline's collection of videos amongst which is a display of Horbury Rushcart performed by Chiltern Hundreds. Now I th... ought this dance had been bypassed by the Wakefield side so where and when did the spark re kindle? Investigations are in hand. Seen the Youtube videos yet? Some links to key dances now in place via the repertoire pages. This site is primarily a repository for the history of Wakefield Morris over the first thirty years of existence. The diary and contacts will still be updated but day to day matters and developing repertoire will no longer be covered. But fear not, from the dusty back room video tapes (younger readers ask your parents) have been recovered and converted to modern DVD format. Details of the "tapes" are now on the "Galleries" page and details of how copies may be obtained. As of 2019 this content is now available in MP4 format. As of November 2016 I have finally completed the sometimes salacious potted biographies that form the "Roll of Honour" of all those who danced with the team in the first 30 years. Still some blanks to fill and always open to updates, the editor is always happy to hear from members or acquaintances. For more information on the Morris dancers world, to find a team near you or to simply explore the delights of the tradition why not try the Morris Federation web page.Read More
