Archive Notes
Founded to develop a unique style and range of dances and music based on Chris Rose's research into the dance heritage of Notts and Lincs (inspired by Paul Davenport's study into the "Forgotten Morris" of E & S Yorks). 1st dances developed from Davenport from Holderness & Snaith, but since incorporated stick dances devised by Broadstone Morris, morris dances with rattles and ribbons, as per local tradition, as well as sword, broom, bacca pipe and clog dances, recreated in the spirit of our local "lost morris". Only side currently covering Notts & Lincs (Nth Shires) dance and music.
