Tyne Bridge Morris are a clog morris team, dancing with garlands and decorated short sticks. Our repertoire includes traditional dances from the North West of England, and others composed by the team, including Ouseburn and Seven Bridges.
We are supported by live musicians who play banjo, recorder, fiddle, and drum, and who also provide interlude music.
We practice at Heaton Community Centre on Thursday evenings, 8.30-9.30pm. (Please let us know if you are interested in coming along, just in case we have to cancel a week!)
Dancers must be able to count to at least 8, and we will teach you everything else you need to know!
Sheet music can be provided for new musicians, (although there is no need to be able to read music). Let us know if you're interested and we can give further information about the tunes we use.
Tyne Bridge is available to perform at fairs, ceilidhs and other events for a very reasonable fee.
