Dead Horse Morris’s kit of hobnailed boots, corduroys and cheese-cutter caps, with ribbon decorated waistcoats, is based on the old dress of local fishermen when decorated for special events. In addition to the traditional dance, they are renowned for playing traditional music, singing traditional songs and drinking traditional ale!
