Thanks to Nobby and the rest of Ilfracombe Red Petticoats who perform a variety of traditional Morris dances to music. The Band consists of melodeons, an accordion, trombone, tin whistle and drum with accompaniment from tambourines and bells. I took this clip of them during their part in the Ilfracombe Victorian week and have now got the shots I was after for my ONEDAY project.

Very interesting. Learning to Morris Dance is one of my goals before I reach 50 and the surf / traditional dance fusion thing of this website is most inspiring. Although I probably won’t be wearing red petticoats. Black maybe…
