Other Notes | The Pershore dances were re-established by Dave Jones in the 1980s following his meetings with Bill Scarlet (member of the 1920s Pershore Not for Joes). Silurian (of which Dave Jones was a founder member) perform just two of the dances. Dave Jones' side after he left Silurian, Old Wonder Not for Joes, performed exclusively Pershore dances until Jones' death in 1991. Thereafter, the Vancouver Morris Men maintained the Pershore dances. |
