Kittiwake Border Morris

*Kittiwake Border are looking for more musicians!*

We are a new Morris side based in Easton in Bristol; we celebrated our first birthday in September, and have enjoyed an influx of fabulous, enthusiastic dancers such that we have quadrupled our numbers in recent months.

We have a small team of dedicated and talented musicians, but we’re looking to grow the band further. Border Morris teams often have big bands including multiple drummers, woodwind and brass players, fiddle/violinists, box players of various sorts, guitarists and bass guitarists (definitely not an exhaustive list!).

We practice every Monday evening, but can be flexible if you don’t feel you can come every week.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact [email protected] or by messaging us on fb or insta.

We looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks to Pigsty Morris for a lovely evening at The Anchor in Oldbury-on-Severn! A great evening, and well done Robbie for his first dance out! 👏👏👏

Looking forward to next Saturday! 👏👏👏

We hear you've been missing us! Never fear, we're out and about later, practicing ahead of our 10th anniversary Day of Dance on Saturday 17th.

WHAT-WHAT-WHAT?! THAT'S ONLY NINE DAYS AWAY!!

On that day we'll be dancing around lovely town centre with our friends and neighbours Stroud Morris Dancers Boss Morris The Tattered Court Beorma Morris Miserden Morris Bedcote Morris Kittiwake Border Morris - the perfect mix of Border, Cotswold, and bouncy, trendy young things.

But for tonight we're heading for just about the best place to watch a spectacular sunset, The Black Horse At Amberley. We'll see you there for a pint and a clashing of sticks from 7:30.

Squire says: 'It's going to be a hot one. But then, what better excuse for a bish-bash-bosh and a cider? Waes Hael!'

And so say all of us.

Tonight’s the night! 😁

Reminder of tonight's practice at St Anne's Church Hall, 8-10pm, new folk welcome!

We danced at dawn, we danced at dusk. A fabulous day… but it appears Alanna has lost her tankard! Should we tell her?

We have danced, we have sung, we have rolled down the hill, so it must now be summer! Rag Morris, Pigsty Morris thanks for a great morning!

Dance out as Part of Bristol Folk Festival at the Bristol Folk House! Here we are with The Bristol Ceilidh Collective post performance as part of the night!

Happy Beltane one and all ❤
