Inroduction

The Perth Morris Men mostly dance Cotswold Morris, with one Sword and a few Border dances. The side was founded in 1974, the first public performance being in Hay Street on a Saturday in March. To the best of our knowledge we (Perth Morris Men) were the first side in Australia. For a more detailed history of the Perth Morris Men refer to http://perthmorrismen.org/history-of-morris-men/history-of-the-perth-morris-men/
