Fremantle Frolic a great success

Visitors from New Zealand, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Adelaide made the journey to Perth for the 2023 Australian Morris Ale which was held in Fremantle.  Visitors and a number of keen locals were accommodated in the iconic Fremantle YHA which is the UNESCO Heritage listed Fremantle Prison.  The dance outs and the Feast night were all within walking distance of the YHA,  The exception was the “Extension Tour” which involved a bus trip to the Swan Valley.  To see the itinerary see – Ale Itinerary Rev 3

May Day coming up soon

It has been and continues to be a busy year.

It was great to get a new dancer from the recent Come and Try It.  On the day there were five newcomers who gave it a go.  

At the time of writing we have performed twice at Mount Claremont Farmers Markets and our new dancer made her first appearance at Boorloo Heritage Festival.

In the near future we have the York Heritage Festival, May Day and Moondyne Festival to look forward to.

A bit of a relax after a busy time

It is time to learn a few new dances without the pressure of getting ready for any particular performance at the moment.

Over a period of a month we did four public performances and one workshop.  We started with a  workshop at Fairbridge Festival and concluded with a performance at Moondyne Festival.  It was good fun and performances and the workshop were all well received.

Also we were very excited to be part of the video for this Phil Hambling song – A Hundred Years Hence
