This year (the 99/00 season (September-September), we performed 439 dances in public (cf 509 last year), 20 of which we danced more than 10 times each. There was a total of a total of 48 different set dances in our repertoire.
This chart does not list 17 other Cotswold Morris set dances which we performed fewer than four times in public in the same dance season; nor does it take account of performances of rapper sword dances, or jigs performed by individual side members.
Bobbing a Joe was the only new-to-us dance performed out this year, but charting again were revived "old favourites" (discuss!): Hotwells, Barren Rocks, Young Collins (Bledington), Monk's March and Black Joker. Out of favour, out of charts were Old Trunko, Young Collins Oddington, Dear is my Dickie, Happy Man and Brighton Camp (as well as all other Ascott stick dances).
The "Tradition" column is merely a convenient handle, to identify the style in which we perform the dance; many of the above dances are "all our own work". For "Ascott", read "Bristol Morris Men’s Ascott style", and so on.
