There was a full tradition of Morris Dances for eight men, in Lichfield, which somehow were missed by Cecil Sharpe [sic] when he made his great collections. Mr Roger Marriott, who has done much research into the history of the dances, found old reports of the 'Morice' dancers in their hair shirts dancing Sarabands and Chaconds. Old editions of the 'Mercury' also carry reports of the dancing. On the evening of Whit Monday the men of Mercia danced in the streets performing the Cotswold Morris. They would like to hear any news of the Lichfield dances and the music of them. No clue is too small. Anyone who can recall anything of eight men who danced in the city on Whit Monday or Tuesday should let one of the following know
