Shakespeare Morris perform Black Joke at the Buck and Bell Long Itchington

Shakespeare Morris at the Buck and Bell Long Itchington on 29/01/ 2022 Plum Jerkum Border Morris http://www.plumjerkum.co.uk/ were performing a Wassail in Long Itchington. They first danced outside The Buck and Bell and moved to the Country Store (opposite the Harvesters) to Wassail their Plum tree and then on to the Green Man for more dancing. Plum Jerkum Border Morris were joined by Alvechurch Morris - http://www.alvechurch-morris.org.uk and Shakespeare Morris - http://www.shakespearemorris.org.uk/ Shakespeare Morris has a special connection with the nearby village of Bidford-on-Avon, whose morris tradition has been extensively researched since 1965 by Phillip Taylor, SM's long suffering musician for many years, assisted by Tony Parsons, the great grandson of Edwin Salisbury, a foreman of the 1886 Shakespearean Bidford Morris Dancers. We also dance a variety of Cotswold Morris traditions collected from other local villages such as Adderbury, Bampton, Bucknell, Lichfield and Stanton Harcourt.
