Molly dancing is a kind of Morris dance that was traditionally associated with out of work ploughboys over the winter. Fowlers Molly Dancers have revived this in South East London, and their first tour of the season is tomorrow, Sunday 8th December, with music and dancing in New Cross and Deptford.
They will start from the Royal Albert 460 New Cross Rd, with the aim of dancing at 12.30, moving on to the Little Crown,495 New Cross Rd, for about 1:30 pm, and finishing off around 3:00 pm at the Dog and Bell, 116 Prince St, Deptford.
Other tours will be on Boxing Day in Blackheath as guests of Blackheath
Morris and Sunday 5th January at the George Inn, Borough as guests of the
Lions Part for Twelfth Night. The final outing is the Plough Monday
tour in Greenwich on 13th January.
