What a joyful occasion this was! With a full band of musicians, comprising of a brace of fiddles, a set of bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, button accordion and harmonica plus two sets of six dancers, Adderbury Village Morris Men entertained a large crowd at this lovely event. We danced for a full hour with hardly an error despite the challenge posed by the narrow aisle in St Mary’s Church. The announcer was effusive in her praise of our efforts and complimented us for our encouragement and inclusion of younger dancers in the side. Although at least one vain sexagenarian in the side thought that she was talking about him, I assumed she meant Alfie, Hector and Dylan, who all danced well and never stopped smiling throughout our full repertoire of dances. As ever we attracted a large number of volunteers for our audience participation dance and the Recruiting Officer was delighted to meet some friends of Dime’s, whom he hopes to welcome to the side in due course. I should add that we also received plenty of compliments for our beautifully decorated Christmas tree too.

Should anyone reading this be interested in joining the side or in booking us for future community events please get in touch. Details can be found on the website.
