Our
dance musicians include accordion (Eric), melodeon
(Simon, Mike) (if you class melodeon as music), recorder
(Simon), pipe & tabor (Barrie) and bodhran players (William is definitely
3rd bodhran). Our version of the music is available in both audio and
printed form, see the repertoire information
and the links below. The "mp3" audio files are played by Eric Foxley
on a 48-bass Hohner Student VM, and are also available as two CDs. The
printed scores come from on the Nottingham
Folk Music Database. For advice on playing for dancing, see the
Playing for dancing
document originally produced by Eric Foxley for an
EFDSS working party; although this is aimed at playing for community
folk dancing, many points are very relevant to playing for morris.
We
also enjoy singing songs and playing
in pubs after a dance tour - and drinking excellent Mallard beer.
