Thanks for this description of Morris Dancing! I don't think I ever heard of that before you mentioned that you are doing it as a hobby.
Do you know if there are also groups outside the UK keeping these traditions alive, maybe brought by British emigrants to North America or Australia?

Glad you liked the entry
From what I saw when I did the internet search there are some groups in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. I don't know much about them though. I did, however, read an interesting account of how Morris travelled to the US. Apparantly the kit, bells, sticks, etc. were in the ships' inventories that travelled over to colonise the 'new world'.
