Aelfgythe


Taking the name from which Alvechurch derived, Aelfgythe are a ladies border morris side who dance with sticks and the traditional black faces.

Consisting of approximately 14 females - dancers and musicians – Aelfgythe are actively looking for new recruits, who not only enjoy the social side of frequenting local hostelries, but those who can bring their musical talent to the side and those who are also willing to have a go and learn the moves whilst clashing sticks with their partners!

Aelfgythe are hoping to make an impact not only within the vacinity of Alvechurch and neighbouring villages but further afield at folk and dance festivals.

With their stunning black and silver garb, Aelfgythe aim to add a new twist to the traditional English morris scene.
