Dolphin is a men's Cotswold Morris side
We dance a number of traditions (including Adderbury, Fieldtown, Headington Quarry, Bledington, Bampton, Ilmington and
Lichfield) and have members who hail from all over Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
From September to April we practise at Kingston-on-Soar Village Hall
(near J24 of the M1) and recover from the ordeal with a pint and, usually, a few tunes and songs in a local pub.
In January we generally perform a Plough play and throughout May, June and July we dance out at pubs and events around Nottinghamshire, as well as the Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire borders; after which we usually like to try and get a good singing and music session going.
