Isca Morrismen Dancing Programme for 2011
The Isca Morrismen maintain a long-standing tradition of dancing out most Wednesday evenings during the summer period at a variety of real ale pubs where we bring entertainment to the community and provide the men themselves with the opportunity to enjoy good ale!
Outside of this period we are either busy practicing or travelling to a variety of events. We dance throughout the old county of Gwent, now spread across the City of Newport and the county boroughs of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire and Torfaen and are always delighted to welcome new members, whether beginners or experienced dancers and musicians.
