The Helier Morris Men in Dancing Education Resource Directory

    

Harry Kitchener at the Anne Port Bay Folk Club formed the Helier Morris Men, in 1975 and we first danced out in that same year. We took part in the Battle of Flowers which is a well know event here in the Channel Islands the Battle as its known locally, dancing at intervals up and down the parade. In 1976 we had our first Ale for those of you who know little about Morris, an ale is where we get together and dance with other Morris sides, sing songs and generally enjoy ourselves. We invited the Wessex Morris Men, who feature a lot in ours and in a lot of sides history. At Christmas we performed our first Mummers Play again for those of you that know little about Morris, a Mummers play is just that, a short act usually based around the concept of death and resurrection.
