Leominster Morris dance "Much Wenlock & White Ladies Aston" Bromyard Folk Festival 2025

Описание: From Leominster Morris web page.
Until the revival, a Leominster Morris was last recorded as having danced in the very early part of the 20th century, when many of the traditions foundered, especially as a result of the First World War. They are described as having worn “print jackets”. There is no other information, so our kit is an interpretation of the old, scant description.
The current Leominster Morris was formed in 1983 by men who had danced in other sides, in particular Breinton Morris, but who found themselves living in and around the town, with a common desire to revive the old Leominster tradition.
We dance predominantly local ‘Welsh Border’ dances, but also some Cotswold dances. In the winter we concentrate on the local dances, and wear our winter kit of black shirt and trousers with “print jackets”; from May Day until autumn Equinox we wear white shirts, more akin to the Cotswold morris tradition.
