>>>>>>>> NEW CD!!!!!!!!!! <<<<<<<<

Can you tell we’re excited?!

This has been long in the making. Live recordings of our new and traditional dances, songs of protest and rebellion both from history and brand new, penned by our members. 53 and a bit minutes of pure dark morris-y folky bliss, just to transport you back to that heady moment you went to the pub to watch the match, but it was ruined by some weirdos making a racket. Ah, what a night that turned out to be. So yes, please be ye transported to our online shoppe, where we be flogging these beauties for a mere £5, either tangible or non-tangible. ONLY £5? We be trippin’.

We’re not allowed to say this while peddling these on the street corners, so we’re going to say it loud and proud here.. 10% of our sales will be donated to The Woodland Trust. The CD is called Ravaged Oak, in remembrance of varied protests to save our beloved trees across the country. Though those magnificent beings may now be gone, we support the efforts the likes the Woodland Trust make to save our ancient forests, and re-wild to start again. We hope you’re with us.

Totnes Christmas Market >> RESCHEDULED <<

Dearly beloved.. hoping that you didn’t travel thousands upon thousands of miles to see us last night on the High Street in Totnes, only to find bedraggled spectres, ghouls, and, somewhat incongruously, a huge tumbleweed roll down the hill. If so, apologies, but high winds ceased play for the whole market (glossing over that the winds had stopped by the evening.. shhh).

Be ye of great cheer, as we have rescheduled with the Elders of ye Christmasse Market to play next week, same time, same place, same £4 cups of mulled wine out of the “Mulled wine” bottle.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 17th, 8pm, Totnes Civic Hall (well, in front of. You can’t miss us)

Recruiting new blood

Seen us, and burst into tears have you? Felt the stirrings of some unsated longing to dance to venerate our ancestors and our land….Or just bored of Zumba?

We recruit new dancers (and the occasional musician) in our practise season, which is autumn and winter. The commitment is every Thursday (well, most) up until May, when we begin our performance season, with most Thursday nights at different pubs across Devon, and roughly one weekend a month at a festival.

So…

We start practise season on Thursday 10th October at 8pm in Chudleigh Knighton village hall. Come along. We teach new people a couple of dances and then assess. By Christmas we will decide who will be invited to join us and those invited will be instructed on making the kit. Those who do not make the grade will be fed to the Dartmoor Witches or thrown in the Teign.

Just turn up, or message us here or on Facebook for more details

Start of summer

We have retreated in winter, and recruited more new dancers. 

We have partied for the turning of the year and planned our 2019 season.

We have new bags, new squires, old bags, posh bags, old and familiar squires and ridiculously energetic foremen. 

Come to our greeting of the new spring by watching us dance the sun up on May Day Morning 2019 at Hay Tor Dartmoor. 

Weather rain, shine, fog, sleet, or snowdrifts we will be holding the road, holding the lines and raising the sun.
