Frog Island Morris dances Lichfield at The Big Sheep in Bideford (Devon, UK). At the Winkleigh Morris weekend 18-20 May 2007, two men of Het Utrechts Morris Team were very fortunate to dance as their guests with the men of Frog Island, who were troubled with some injuried dancers.
The only opportunity to video Frog Island in action was here in Bideford on the Saturday tour, when they did a Lichfield dance for four. The low stroke with the sticks is a very nice element in the dance. Frog Island is also very disciplined in the walk on and dance off. Alas, due to a misunderstanding (single of double file) this time only it went somehow wrong. Nonetheless the vid shows that Frog Morris really pays attention to that final element of a show! Both men of Het Utrechts Morris Team express their thanks to Frog Island for having a good day of dancing!

All countries need to keep up these traditions no matter how bizarre they seem.
