Talk:Lancre Morris Men

On a personal note, I laugh every time I come across this line: "There was the long drawn-out chord that by law must be precede folk music in order to give bystanders a chance to get away". Possibly the funniest and truest line in Prachettdom --Knmatt 13:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I haven't been able to reconcile TP's frequent attacks on folk music with his apparent fondness for Steeleye Span. I think I know the "long, drawn-out chord" he means, but it's confined to a pretty narrow area of dance tunes, mostly. (Probably featuring an accordion or concertina: maybe that's the problem.) --Old Dickens 17:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Text (annotation) moved to main article--AgProv 22:57, 29 May 2007 (CEST)

The recent addition is almost entirely repetition of the existing (properly placed) annotation except where it adds to the confusion between clogging and Morris. I suggest reverting it. --Old Dickens 15:53, 1 May 2010 (UTC). Hearing no support, I shall. --Old Dickens 23:15, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Folk Dance

The Cloggies, however, as the name suggests, did Lancashire clog-dancing. The clogs or heavy boots would be extra weapons in the competition. It seems a more obviously combative event than Morris and the Fifteen Mountains style has adapted its spirit and object to Morris dancing. In Roundworld, the styles form a continuum across the north of England, with followers in the south. Pity we never got to see the Cloggies across the pond; I wonder what great American comics they missed in Britain. --Old Dickens (talk) 03:46, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
