Morris On !
My thanks to you, kind folk.
Does anyone know the name of the Bruno in the tie dye? Is he a Yank? He looks like a dancer from Pipe and Bowl Morris?
Thanks again for the posting
Happy The Man

The May Day celebrations take place in Oxford every year from 6am. on May 1, then move to Radcliffe Square and St. Giles to finish by 9am. You can find morris dancers throughout England in spring/summer, but they tend to turn up when you least expect them, usually close to pubs. There is a big May Day celebration in Padstowe Cornwall, and a mid-may morris men gathering on Headley common, Brentwood Essex, among others. Try a Google search of the morris dance websites. Have a good trip!

The tune for this dance IS The Brittish Grenadiers, but the dance is in fact "Skirmishes - Bledington"
Good video tho!
