The Morris! Hey! project was put together by Mike Ruff, an experienced teacher of traditional and historical dance, a Morris Dancer with St Albans Morris Men and co-author of The Maypole Manual.
The dancing is performed by Fool’s Gambit, an excellent, young and versatile side with filming and editing by Max Thomas.
