Way of the Morris

As quintessentially homegrown as a game of cricket or a plate of fishandchips Morris dancing is one of Englands most ancient roots traditions And yet to your average man on the street its seen as little more than a national joke And a bad national joke at that Something to ridicule Something to be embarrassed about A heartfelt docuballad in praise of birthplace bloodline and rural brotherhood WAY OF THE MORRIS follows Tim on a deeply personal journey from the barleyfields of his childhood to the killing fields of The Somme as he traces the poignant link between the spirited folk revival of the mid1970s and the true story of the young Adderbury Morris side so decimated by the carnage of the First World War
