The Ironmen dancing "Three Jolly Black Sheepskins" with guest participants, the
women of Oyster Morris - a rare treat for them due to the absence of The Severn
Gilders!
This dance was created by The Ironmen and Severn Gilders, with its
central figure (the sheepskins hey) having been collected from the village of
Albrighton in Shropshire where it was often danced as a competition between men
and women.
