@avfc4_alex Hi - just so you know, there is now only one side in the UK that still continues to use full-face black makeup, and they are not part of any of three morris organisations, who all voted to stop the practice several years ago: morrisfed.org.uk/2020/07/03/cal…

@OcBen I saw morris dancers in Devon blacked up doing a traditional dance in Devon a couple of years back. So it still happens in this country too.

@dranneguy @BasGazette There's actually only one team left in the country that still uses blackface and they are not part of the mainstream organisations, who all voted to stop the practice a few years ago now. This team (@HookEagleMorris) no longer use it, so the paper have used an old photo.

@missdcox Lots of people saying blackface morris in your replies, just wanted to add that thankfully this practice has now been effectively stopped and the UK's morris organisations no longer accept any team that continues to use it: morrisfed.org.uk/2020/07/03/cal…

Some great words from @Ellie_Gowers here on being part of a morris team. Most sides will be back in practice after summer (including us!), so now is the best time to get in touch with your local team and give morris a try! Check out the morris map ⬇️ google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…

"You can’t really go wrong with bells. Everybody looks good in bells." @Ellie_Gowers tells us about being one of the first female Morris dancers at Saddleworth Rushcart, and her amazing new album 'Dwelling by the Weir'. tradfolk.co/music/music-in…

Bizarre line of questioning to @_KateForbes from Tories, presumably informed by tabloids. Scotland is required, by law, to balance budgets based on forecasts from the SFC - there cannot be a "black hole".

@jclangdell @infamousfiddler I don’t know whether to be shocked or impressed to learn that there are American Morris dancers…I’ve always thought of them as a uniquely British thing.
