Black Gate Morris
Black Gate Morris dance and play Cotswold old and new. In 2018 a series of workshops to gauge interest in mixed Cotswold in Newcastle upon Tyne quickly turned into a side, and we had our first performance. Since then, we’ve been dancing out at pubs in Tyneside and festivals and days of dance across the North. Our musicians and dancers are a mixture of the morris innocent and the morris experienced, and our repertoire comes from Adderbury, Bledington, Bucknell, Raglan and Woodside.
Hexham Morris
The revival of Morris dancing in Hexham began in November 1977 and in the towns folk club Hexham Morris was born. The group started slowly, but grew to eventually incorporate the Hexhamshire Lasses. The teams perform separately, but mostly appear together to entertain and bring traditional English dances to Hexham and further afield. Equally in Hexham or Hungary they are one of the most experienced, versatile and accomplished exponents of the ancient art of Morris Dancing. The men perform dances mainly from the Cotswolds and the areas near the Welsh Border. The lasses perform in their own style a variety of traditional dances.
