Traditional Bampton Morris Dancers

http://tbmd.org

The 'photo used for the top of the index page of the Morris Ring web site was taken by John Maher whilst visiting Bampton for their annual Whitsun celebration. The dancers are in Bridge Street slightly down from the Romany Inn - morris dancing in Bampton (rightly), stops the traffic! The dancers and musicians in the 'photo were identified by Paul Smith (Bagman TBMD) as:
Dancers: Clockwise and starting with the stooping guy who is Geoffrey Coad, Paul Fowler, Josh Smith, Luke Fowler, George Bower, Brien O'Rourke, Stephen Coad, Barry Care (Fool), Paul Smith (mainly hidden behind Tom Bower) & Tom Bower.
Musicians (from left to right as the camera faces them: Gareth Turner, Simon Care & Nick Locke (partially hidden behind Stephen Coad.)
The black and white index below the 'photo also shows the dancer names.
