#41 Hats

For 52 Weeks of Pics 2014

Week 41 'Hats'

 

Morris Men performing at the annual Apple Fair in a local village.

 

Morris Dancing is a traditional form of English folk-dance accompanied by a group of musicians, and in days gone by most villages would have had their own 'team' each sporting a different colour variation of a fairly traditional outfit, embellished with bells and flowers. They also use sticks, coloured handkerchiefs and even swords in their neatly choreographed performances.

 

It's a traditionally male occupation, but these days there are many ladies in the teams too.
