Powderkegs Morris

From our base in Whaley Bridge, High Peak, The Powderkegs appear at events near and far dancing the vibrant living tradition of Border Morris. Loud and lively!

Friends and followers, after a lot of discussion we've decided to cancel our dance out in Chester tomorrow. This decision has not been taken lightly and is based on changing information about the coronovirus and crowd gatherings (yes we were hoping for a large crowd!!!).

[Powderkegs Morris @PowderkegsDance]

Come and join us in Chester on Saturday (14th March) where we will be entertaining the crowds throughout the day with our friends Clerical Error and Stone the Crows Border Morris. Look for us outside the Town Hall from 11am.
