"Old Bull Morris Men" Dance at The Old Guinea Pub
The Old Bull Morris Men were based at the Old Bull Arts Centre in nearby Barnet and would regularly turn out to perform at pubs in south west Hertfordshire around 1979 - 1981. Originally founded as a mixed side of dancers who performed in the clog wearing "north-west tradition" they eventiually settled down as a mens side. I can remember joining them around 1980 for my first taste of morris dancing in 1980 although I had already spent a couple of years playing my piano accordian for the dancers of Whitethorn Morris.
Thursday evenings found us at pubs in what is now the Hertsmere borough of Hertfordshire, situated between Potters Bar and Shenley. One of my favourite places to dance was Ridge which has a small church, St Margaret's, and a public house called the Old Guinea.
Warm summer evenings dancing in the road outside the pub were followed by a beer - or two - to quench our thirst!
