Every Morris side is comprised of much more than sets of dancers and musicians: Every Morris side has an audience; an array of family members, friends, photographers, folk music fans, passing members of the public, all following their performance and occasionally, dogs too. Over the past eleven years, AVMM have sometimes been joined by a small black pug dog call Riley. His cuteness has often drawn attention away from the clashing sticks, the jingling bells and the array of Janet Blunt collected dances. In his own quiet way, Riley has been a supporter, a pet and a mascot. He accompanied us on tours of Somerset, Norfolk and France and Belgium for the centenary events related to the end of WW1, as we paid our respects to the fallen. Riley passed away on 27 November, RIP gentle boy Riley a Morris pug dog.
