This is another quirky British film......this time, it's all about Morris Dancing  You can see the trailer on the film's website where there's also a petition to try and get the film distributed in the UK and America. It has a good cast including Derek Jacobi, Greg Wise, Harriet Walter.......and Fern Britton's brother, Jasper!

| There was talk a few weeks ago of Morris Dancing being phased out.....youngsters don't want to take it up, so this film could give it street cred |

'Morris dancing' and 'street cred'? Chalk and cheese methinks.......

| Get rappers promoting morris dancing instead of guns and violence Maybe Eminem's next single will be about Morris, not Stan |

Somehow I can't see morris dancing catching on no matter who promotes it- can't think of any actors, musicians etc whod be willing to endorse it under the age of about 70!

oh have a little faith bud,..can you not see all these rap artists prancing about in funny gear with ribbons
though Elton John might promote it after all their gear would probably suit his wardrobe

Perhaps its the start of a new celebrity fad- a sort of 'Come Dancing' spinoff so they can rejuvenate their careers!
