If they are not a yellow tabby we drown them as kittens; the rest we sell, and they command top price.

funny you should say that, but have you noticed that one of offspring also makes an appearance in black swan 'repper' (learn to spell fool!)

the lads and lasses in MO have un-believable amounts of passion in the tradition, go and speak to them and see.

morris offspring are pure shite, if you want dance with passion, youth and a knowledge and feel for the tradition, you want the Demon Barber Roadshow.

Exactly who are these illiterate and anonymous punks who don't seem to know very much about morris and who make ridiculous statements about Morris Offspring performances?
I have not seen any name worthy of making a comment that I can believe in.
Stand up or shut up.

well i wouldn't say packed full of tradition, you could actually do comedy jigs and iv shown many people videos of comedy jigs that wouldn't look twice at morris and they actually liked them and they didn't think it was some weird theatre thing

Sorry but have you actually seen the show?? How can it be 'loosely based' on morris, did you not see dances like haste, old woman and the raglan dance?! Yes offspring like to push the bounderies with their big set dances but how can you not see that they are packed full of trad. figures and steps?!

Ok if you think offspring are rubbish name another way to promote morris to a wider audience. Also has anyone considered that offspring are out there to have fun doing what they enjoy and wish to show it to other people?

there are many opinions of what makes a good morris dance thats why the jig competition at sidmouth means very little at all as it is 4 peoples opinions and the opinions of them 4 cant be used to represent the majority of people who have watched morris also the majority of opinion about morris offspring is that they aren't good, or doing anything special for the youth of morris dancing, and really its quite cheeky calling it morris dancing as it is loosely based on it and i have to agree with the majority

I saw the show ' on English ground' at Towersey this year and thought it was fantastic, I had a lump in my throat when that fella sang that song about England.   I admit I have never really been into Morris dancing- am more into international folk and loved the shows put on by the eastern europeans and Russians at Sidmouth. However I am delighted that a young team of English dancers has brought Morris dancing up to date, and such good dancers and wonderful choregraphy and so tight. How about including some Rapper also.

I reckon you should aim for the olympics - imagine 100's of young morris dancers clad in white at the opening ceremony! Go for it guys!
What you need is some sort of reality TV show based on folk dance something like Strictly dance fever. My sisters boyfriend is a documentary producer and also a folkie, He has conacts in the tv world. Try and get some one like Bruce Forsyth on your side, as he is a keen dancer - did a series on latin dance. There are reality TV shows in everything these days and if it was aimed at recruiting for the olympics then I reckon it could really bring Morris to the masses.
Aim high and carry on the good work

in my defence i was extremely hung over from passing out due to too much cripple cock the night before the jig competition and i had just run in to a wall also i didn't really care for the jig competition i would have prefered a more trdaitional version and to be honest i know mine was crap but i did see much better jigs from other people than the ones the offspring lot did and they were actually traditional and didnt have to do fancy stuff like jumping over they're musician to get audience reaction and the fact that i got retarded comments from the judges and half of them didn't get what i was doing didn't really help but oh well it'll be crazier and less traditional next year and i like how people are taking my rants about proper traditional jigs seriously and i cant even remember the last time i did a jig that were traditional i just like doing jigs that make people laugh cos face it people laugh at morris dancers anyway so why not give them a reason to laugh?

i dont think i said you were rubbish. just you were saying you were as good as any of the offspringers & i dont agree from what i saw. & obviously neither did the jig comp judges

f.w.i.w. i thought you did better performing on the streets than on the stage
