Practice
There will be a practice at the Seaward Guide Hall on the 10th of March.
An exciting start to 2019
The big news for Marlee Morris is that we are going to be a “Display Side” at the 2019 National Folk Festival which is held in Canberra at Easter. The Australian Morris Ring organises the Morris Dancing part of the Folk Festival. Six sides are normally chosen with three sides being display sides and three being busking sides. The display sides have to provide a half hour display and a one hour workshop as well as doing other “busking” spots around the festival. Joining us in Canberra are Belswagger Morris Dancers, Britannia Morris, Black Joak Morris, Fair Maids of Perth (& Sons), and Surly Griffin Morris For more see National Folk Festival Performance
We have also been invited to dance at a Wedding. Naturally I cannot disclose too many details but it is still exciting to be able to be part of such a joyous occasion.
Merry Christmas from Marlee Morris
Merry Christmas to all.
It has been a good start to our time as a new side in Perth. Since announcing the new side we have done the following:
- Danced in Sydney at the National Ale
- Danced at the Down South Tour
- Danced at the Fair Maids of Perth 40th Anniversary Ale
- Completed our first paid gig
- Danced at Perth Morris Men’s Christmas gathering
Looking forward to a great 2019

Maids Ale and Marlee Launch
October has been a busy month. On the 13th and 14th we helped the Fair Maids of Perth celebrate their 40th Anniversary at their Ale. For some photos see – Fair Maids of Perth Ale
A while back we became aware that there is a Marlee Pavilion in Kings Park and thought we should have a photo opportunity there and combine it with some drinks and nibbles. We also decided to have a little foot up at the near by Matilda Bay. It could be considered as our official launch. For some photos see – Matilda Bay and Marlee Pavilion
