Workshop leaders are Mary Marker who is top notch PA player and palys mainly for Ceilidh dances and Steve Gill who is Mr Teignmouth Folk Festival. I can’t just recall which  Morris Side he plays for, but he knows his stuff.

I think he used to play for Grimspound border, I don't know if he still does.

Grimspound are one of my favourite sides and their music has class.

Ok thanks all.
It's people I haven't come across, but as Devon has a huge number of Morris sides, that's understandable.
Cheers
