The Outside Capering Crew presents morris dance for the 21st century: sometimes flashy, sometimes comic, and always with exhilarating music.

All current team members have been winners of the John Gasson Jig Competition at Sidmouth Festival. 

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.
