This dance was originally inspired after Beltane Border Morris visited the double stone circle on the misty rainy winter solstice of 2019. A dance creation workshop was held in early 2020 to develop all the dance moves but the dance remained unfinished due to Covid-19 which prevented us meeting. The dance was refined and finalised during the winter 2021-2022 dance practice season and here it is!

Wow... That's what I call Dance and Music! Does anyone know the musical instruments played?

@antveal 2 года назад

Yes, we've a violin, recorder, guitar, bouzouki, bass guitar plus selection of drums. The bouzouki is an addition for this year and we reckon it's a great addition

@@antveal what is the pipe tgat takes on the main high pitched notes? Is it a small pipe

@antveal 2 года назад

@@vinchenzo678 it's just a descant recorder with amplification so it can be heard above drumming etc. Just dug out my old recorder to check it is, and definitely just a descant. Our excellent fiddle player struggled with a duff D string during that dance which suddenly started losing pitch and had completely failed by the end of the dance!

@vinchenzo678 2 года назад

@@antveal Yes I noticed the fiddle but in some way it suited... Uncanny. Do you have any of the music to buy in download,i love the drums also.

@antveal 2 года назад

@@vinchenzo678 I'll see what I can do with regards to the music. Many of our tunes are traditional folk tunes ad the music is widely available. Not sure about Grey Wethers. It's such a new dance. Sometimes our musicians write their own arrangements to better fit the dance

A bit lacking in the hankies and jingly bells department

@antveal 6 месяцев назад

Just seen your other similar messages! We use wooden handkerchiefs and jingly bells distract from the music, shouts, and bold sticking. We think it's good that morris dancing has contrasting styles with individual groups choosing their preferred combination of bells, hankies, sticks, clogs, cotton reels,m swords, garlands etc etc.
