The Outside Capering Crew presents morris dance for the 21st century: sometimes flashy, sometimes comic, and always with exhilarating music.
In 2025 members of the Crew came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the John Gasson Solo Jig Competition at Sidmouth Festival, as well as winning the Cliff Barstow Jig Competition at Whitby Folk Week.
We perform stylish morris jigs, comic hand-clapping, tricky broom dances and brain-bending “bacca pipes” jigs – England’s answer to the Scottish sword dance, but more edgy. It’s all served with a dash of showmanship (and a very silly horse. Or cow).
We’ve danced in America, Dubai, Sark and mainland Europe, and at major UK folk festivals.
