MORTIMER’SMORRIS

Mortimer’s Morris are a lively women’s side based in

Nottingham. We perform dances from the North West

tradition with enthusiasm and style. Our kit often receives

as much limelight as the dancing. Black skirts, ribbon and

appliqué corset style waistcoats and colourful underskirts

give a striking appearance.

Mortimer’s Band contribute a unique sound with hurdy

gurdy, diatonic accordion, guitar, fiddle, whistles,

bouzouki. Many of the tunes have a distinctive French

flavour, adding to the Mortimer’s experience. Wearing

black suits and shades, the band have developed into the

‘mortician chic’ it is today.

Along with our dancing and music sessions at festivals,

we are able to offer workshops in

• North West Morris

• French Music

• French Bal

• Hurdy Gurdy

• Ceilidh
