The Bristol Morris Men

We are Bristol's longest-established men's Morris Dance Side, founded in 1951. We perform Cotswold Morris Dances, (some more traditional than others!), to music provided by melodeon, concertina, fiddle or pipe and tabor. Our current active membership is around two dozen, but we are always on the look-out for new dancers or musicians - particularly as quite a few of our younger members are now away studying at university. We also have a cantankerous horse, called (funnily enough) Horse, who now has his own Web Page!

We are always delighted to welcome prospective new members, either dancers or musicians. No previous experience is necessary, but the best time for newcomers to investigate us, or start dancing is around October. This is because our practice season runs largely from the end of September to mid April. We dance throughout the year, but our busiest season for dancing out is between May and July. The official start of our dancing year is on May Day - May 1st - when commence dancing at sunrise in Castle Park, Bristol.

Our morris dance repertoire is based on dances originally performed in the Cotswold villages of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Bledington, Oddington, Wheatley, Ducklington, Eynsham; Ilmington; and Lichfield. (If you want to see how often we perform each dance, here are our dance charts!) The side also performs Rapper Sword dances, from the North-East of England, mainly during the Winter season. Find details of our sworded activities here!

There are many fine dance schools in The UK. I know I am in contact with them as we supply a range of high quality dancewear products like leotards, dance pants, dance dresses and other dancing apparel.

Zigou Dam was formed by Choreographer Grace Ekall in 1995. Her dance background naturally embraced traditional dance from her native Cameroon but unusually she pursued Contemporary dance training in France and Switzerland. Grace pioneered her distinctive expressive Contemporary style in the Cameroon. Zigou Dam’s African tour was to take the Continent by storm. The Company’s reputation spread to Europe culminating in a highly successful tour of France. The audience’s enthusiasm for Zigou Dam’s appearances prompted an invitation from the Arts Council of England to come and perform in the UK. The company originally came to the UK following an invitation from Mr. Bill Ackworth, a farmer living in Hungerford. Currently based at Bristol Dance Centre, Zigou Dam have been undertaking workshops and sessions in schools, colleges and Universities across the Region. The response to the Company’s work has been positive and enthusiastic engaging a wide range of participants in authentic African culture and expressive Contemporary dance.
