Borderline Morris dance "Black Widow" at Oxford Folk Festival 19th-21st April 2024

The dance is "Black Widow" and the tune name is ‘God killed the devil-o’. From Borderline Morris Web page Coming soon to a car park near you! Redefining what it means to be a morris tart, Borderline Morris defy death, convention, speed cameras and basic physics with our unique, exciting performances. Border morris with a difference - if Cromwell was still around he'd definitely ban it! Borderline was created in late 2007 using only three pipe cleaners, a plastic bottle and some old buttons. We practice in Arborfield, south of Reading, on a wednesday night, but we come from far and wide you are never more than 12 feet away from a Borderliner! We would love to hear from men and women interested in dancing and/or playing in our friendly group. To get in touch please email Jen at [email protected]. What people say about Borderline: 'It's a bit like morris dancing isn't it?' 'You're the youngest morris dancers I've ever seen!' 'Eeh, y'don't arf look queer!' 'Magnificent orange thighs! http://www.borderlinemorris.com/home.htm Oxford Folk Festival 19th-21st April 2024 Like a phoenix from the flames, or perhaps more like a duckling that dreams of becoming a swan, members of the former volunteer committee are continuing the folk festival after the sad demise (after a brilliant decade) of Oxford Folk Weekend. We are now, with Tim Healey's permission, the Oxford Folk Festival 2024. We have a domain name (oxfordfolkfestival.org.uk) and even a nascent website, thanks to donated time from Jack Evans. This year we are ALL volunteers, as there is no budget, but we have been heartened by the generosity of our many supporters who have decided to donate their time as performers or behind-the-scenes helpers to make this event a success. Be assured that as usual, the streets will be full of colour and music from the morris dancers, while key locations in the centre of town will be showcasing our Oxford and Oxon performers.
