We are one of the busiest bands on the local scene, we recently celebrated our 160th appearance. We play all over Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Wiltshire, and Herefordshire, and sometimes venturing further afield. The music we play is mostly English - polkas, hornpipes, a few reels and waltzes, but we can play some Irish and Scottish tunes when the need arises.

Some of the then musicians of England's Glory Ladies Morris were first asked to play as a scratch band for events in 1992 and 1993, and started to play regularly for barn dances and ceilidhs in 1994.
They have appeared at the 'Folk on the Water' festival at Saul, Swanage, Scarborough, Helsinki Arctic Ale, Wotton-under-Edge Arts Festival. In 2006 they played a total of 42 different dances during the year.
