Yep that is Boughton Monchelsea Morris, I was one of them and there at Sidmouth that year amongst many others! great memories indeed. Thanks for the trip.

It is, and fond memories they are, of the time I danced with these people :) Now living in Australia, and unfit :(
-
Have you got any more video of this group?
-
Thinking about it some more, we started as separate teams, Boughton doing Cotswold style, Minstrel mixing traditions and male/female dancers. Then I believe Minstrel folded and Bought appears to have morphed in the dress and style of Minstrel. But perhaps someone else has a clearer memory.

Actually, fuzzy memory, maybe it was the Bought Monchelsea Morris...

I fairly sure this is the Minstrel Morris from Maidstone, Kent. Based at the the n Minstrel Wine Bar (now the Thirsty Pig?). I was one of the founders along with Jim and Trevor the publicans and musicians/singers.
I don't think so. I copied pretty much all that the guy who took this footage had of any Morris at Sidmouth in '88. He might have some more but I doubt it. Great stuff, isn't it?
