Yes, I strongly agree with you that the black face should make a come back again, after all, this traditional colour was made in days of old by using a combination of goose fat and soot in the far-origins of Border Morris dancing. Bring it back please...time to listen to your audience 'Morris Ring' powers-that-be! Its very true that Alvechurch Morris men really embodied the original style & look of the Border Morris style. Seen them many times over the years.

It's about time the black face was re-introduced.

Best Border morris side ever!

Hilariously weird

Its a traditional dance called The Evesham which has been adapted by Alvechurch Morris. The music is Brighton Camp. This includes the song at the beginning.

What dance is this? Is it a newer or more traditional one?

great.enjoyed your video.we're also alvechurch based.check us out on 'the big lunch.6-5 specials skiffle band..cheers

they tend to let them off one by one and they move in the direction and speed of the wind, i too thought these were UFO's until i let a few of witha friend

P.S. I Love the cat's comments lol

I live in Droitwich too and have seen these a couple of times. They are called fire lanterns. See them on ebay for sale. They are basically a huge strong balloon that you put a lighted wick in. They let them off at music festivals and outside weddings and parties.
