Stoclgon Group of the English Folft Dance and Song Societg

ENGLANDStockton Group of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. This group was formed about ten years ago and has become one of the leading English Folk Dance Groups in the country. They have in their repertoire a wide range of Morris, Country, and Sword Dances.

The Sword Dances maintain an ancient North-East tradition, surviving amongst the coal miners and workers in iron, they are closely linked with Mummimg Plays. In this folk custom the "Sword" is a dance property rather than a weapon of offence. The Northumbrian Sword Dance is called a "Rapper". The Stockton Sword Dancers are known as the "Blue and Golds" Rapper team.

Music is provided by the "Waggoners", made up of an accordion, base guitar and two fiddles. The group has represented England at International Festivals in Ireland, Yugoslavia, Italy, Germany and Holland.
