Cardiff Ladies Morris ~ Homepage
Who
are we?
We are a Morris side based in Cardiff, South Wales and were originally
formed in 1973.
Where
do we meet and practice?
Rookwood hospital gymnasium on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 prompt-ish. We
are currently in our practice season and during these winter months
refine our dances and teach new dancers. During the Spring and Summer
we often dance out at local hostelries.
Kit
Our kit consists of white shirt, black waistcoat (with a dragon on the
peplum) and a bright red full skirt. Summer time, no tights; winter,
black ones!
Dances
We like to put on a varied show of Morris and entertain the public. Our
Llareggub tradition was created by Cardiff Ladies and is solely danced
by us. The name is taken from Dylan Thomas's famous play Under Milk
Wood: we don't take ourselves too seriously - read Llareggub backwards!
Other dances in our repertoire originate from the Cotswolds and the
Welsh Borders.
Musicians
We have several musicians at present who play various types of
squeezebox, the fiddle, penny whistle and occasionally Welsh bagpipes.
Other musicians will be made most welcome and any instrument would be
considered but it would help if it's acoustic and portable!
Want
to join?
We offer a warm welcome to those who would like to give Morris a go.
It's great fun and a good way to keep fit. Please contact us if you're
interested.
