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.
