Earlsdon Morris dance "Colne" at Warwick Folk Festival Saturday 29th July 2023

From Earlsdon Morris Web Page
Earlsdon Morris perform North West clog dances. We welcome dancers and musicians of all ages to join. We are a sociable group who like to dance, sing, travel and be merry.
The Warwick Folk Festival is held over four days near Warwick Castle and they also provide a free Fringe Folk Festival in the town. Some streets are closed to cars, stalls and restaurants fill the streets. Morris dancers perform through the day and then have a procession through the streets.

Always a pleasure 👍

I fully agree with that.

Writing as one who was (briefly) official club musician to Earlsdon, the dance may be correct, but the tune is not. Either the current musicians don't know the tune, or they have ignored it for reasons best known to themselves. When I was musician in the late 70s, the whole club knew the tune and could sing it. BTW, whatever happened to dances done with slings? I always thought them far more impressive than little sticks.
