Joint Morris organisation handout
|
The Flagcrackers of Craven black up their faces in the style of Border morris. There is no racial undertone or implication. Dating back many centuries this make-up has its roots simply in disguise. We welcome members of all race or creed to join us in celebrating the joy of traditional dance in this way. |
Visitors and prospective members always welcome. For further info see email contacts
