I have been actively involved in morris since an early age. I joined the Hammersmith morris in 1959 when they first started. In 1975 I was encouraged to start a new team to revive the local dancing style of the Welsh borders, and the Shropshire Bedlams were born. These articles written over the years will tell you quite a lot about the history of the team and of Martha Rhoden's and of the ...
