We are the Blackheath Morris Men from south-east London and we are a very fine body of men.
And Jill. And Stella.
Available for Olympic Games Closing Ceremonies, rock festivals, fêtes and performance art happenings. We have danced across the UK, in the Red Sea and several times in Lewisham.
Book us - contact details below.
Join Blackheath Morris!
We are a men’s Cotswold Morris Dancing Side. We dance with sticks, hankies, both (‘stankies’), or sometimes inflatable unicorns.
We welcome new dancers or musicians any time of year. No previous experience necessary.
Thursday night is practice night. Get in touch first in case we are dancing out somewhere, or have been arrested. Or just turn up at the pub, worst case you can have a nice quiet pint.
What else?
We like to finish each joke with a dance. Sometimes we sing songs about ships, ladies, rum or eggs. Sometimes we have drinking practice, it’s hard work you know.
