Inroduction
Perth Morris Men mostly dance Cotswold Morris, with a few Border dances and one Sword dance. The Perth Morris Men were founded in 1974 with the 1st public performance in Hay Street on a Saturday in March, 1974. To the best of our knowledge we (Perth Morris Men) were the first in Australia.
