A Hundred Morris Dancers In The Village Hall At Tylers Green !

A Memory of Tylers Green.

The villagers of Tylers Green got a shock on Saturday 12th November 2011 when more than one hundred Morris Dancers arrived for an intensive day of music and dance practice in their village hall. We came from all over the country to attend a workshop led by the two well known "sides" of Whitethorn Morris and Old Speckled Hen Morris.

This suburban village not far from High Wycombe boasts an immaculate willage hall with lovely new floors, furnishings and kitchens and it is really impressive. We filled their car park and overflowed into neighbouring roads as we arrived soon after 9 o'clock ready for a whole day of fun. Elizabeth and I came up from Devon and were pleased to meet so many friends there. Elizabeth danced and I went on stage and sat with the band to provide music for the day. Although no longer the band leader for Whitethorn Morris I was still familiar with most tunes of the common repertoire of Morris music. so I joined in playing with the large band for much of the day.
