Redding Moreys at York Mystery Plays 2018

We had an opportunity of performing once again at the famous York Mystery Plays.  Despite the initially gloomy weather, a lot of people turned up to watch the action.  See some pictures from a couple of performance spots and plan to come and see us again in four years' time.

 
 

Redding Moreys at the Reading WaterFest 2018

On the occasion of the WaterFest in Reading, the ruins of the Abbey were re-opened by the town officials and several folk dancing groups were invited to perform.
Redding Moreys responded and danced their usual repertoire on the sate set up at the Abbey Ruins and later at the Forbury Gardens.  A well-attended event. Take a look at the video and pictures.

Redding Moreys at the Morris Ring ARM

Yesterday Redding Moreys held a workshop, performed three 16th-century 'morris' dances and led a 'threading the needle' audience participation at the Morris Ring's Annual Representatives' Meeting (ARM). Great fun and a lot of praise for providing "at last, something different".

We'll try and find some suitable pictures to publish here.

One of our spectators, Bob Mann, posted his experience from the event on Facebook.  We thank him for that.
