The Team
Ted & Pat Morse: Ted began dancing with the Oxford Morris Men and Oxford City Folk Dance Club when he was 17, started calling and running barn dances at 19, and has barely paused since! Ted plays accordion, percussion and tuba, is an experienced band leader, teaches Morris, Sword and Country dancing (and more!) and is a regular tutor at Halsway Manor – along with Pat . In
additional to playing and hosting the week, Pat will also be running craft workshops for you to try your hand at something different!
Gareth Kiddier (piano) & Linda Game (fiddle) are The English Contra Dance Band, an energetic two piece band and one of the UK’s most in-demand purveyors dance music. They’ve performed at most of the major UK Festivals – including Sidmouth, Chippenham, and Towersey – as well as international dates in Denmark and America’s East Coast.
