Peterborough Morris
Peterborough Morris can offer:-
Each event is different, and we can fit in with the type of venue and your other attractions. What we can offer:-
-
Typical booking. Two displays separated by a shortish break.
-
A talk by our resident historian to your school or club on the history of Morris. This may be supported by a few demonstration dances. Talks can be arranged through our Bagman or directly with our principal speaker, Dr. Matthew Simons at matt.j.simons AT icloud.com
-
Audience participation! We can teach a simple morris dance and get spectators involved.
-
More Audience participation! In addition to a morris display, we can run a short social dance. Each dance is explained before it starts, then reminders given during by our resident caller Ollie Simons with music by our morris musicians.
-
Celidhs / barn dances. For a full evening of social dancing Ollie would engage a local celidh band. Contact Ollie directly at ollienobells3 AT gmail.com
