    Amble Is a Mining Village on the Northumbrian Coast About 25 Miles North of Newcastle Upon Tyne

    THE AMBLE SWORD DANCE This notation was written by Bill Cassie and originally published in 19661. Amble is a mining village on the Northumbrian coast about 25 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. As with most longstanding traditional ceremonial dances, this one has depended on the enthusiasm of one family – the Flanagans. The members of the family who contributed to the discussions and demonstrations of steps and knots were Eddie who had danced No. 4, Frank, who had been the Betty and Mark (from whom the knots were eventually collected) who was normally No. 5 but could take any position. He had been in charge of the boys’ side, and had also performed in the men’s side which was controlled by his father. The old man had died in 1958 at the age of 89, and his long life and good health were attributed to good beer and plenty of dancing! He had been a Northumbrian clog dancing champion and teacher of the art in the region. He had also taught the rapper sword dance in Broomhill, Hemscott Hill and Widdrington. The dance was handed down by the Flanagan family, and seems to have been performed last about 1931. During the previous few years of the depression, miners’ rapper teams had a revival over the Tyneside area, but with the return to work and better times there was not so much need for collections! The Amble side had met teams from Winlaton, Bedlington, Chester-le-Street, Cambois (pron.Cammus), Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, and Earsdon. The Amble team had danced as far afield as Morpeth, and references were made to a show at Alnwick Castle for the Duke of Northumberland.

Here goes with a first edition in a new style The plan is that each Morris Dancer will have as a theme a regional variant of the morris. Alongside this each holder of the Archive will be asked to make available an account of their recent activity on some aspect of the collection that they hold. The intention is to produce a quality journal of which the Morris Ring can be truly proud, and to open up the Archive to a greater audience. The editorial brief is that The Morris Dancer will become an important vehicle of academic excellence; it will become a worthy flagship journal of the Morris Ring and in particular of the Archive Group.

After going to Haileybury School in Hertfordshire, he went in 1930 to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he read both parts of the Natural Sciences Tripos. During this time he became an enthusiastic dancer with both the Cambridge Morris Men and the Cambridge branch of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. After taking his degree he stayed on in Cambridge to undertake research in plant physiology at the School of Agriculture. He obtained his doctorate in 1938 and then took up a post with the Potato Virus Research Institute where he remained for the rest of his working life. His continued residence in Cambridge was especially valuable to the Cambridge Morris Men in helping give a stability and continuity to a club whose membership, like that of any university-based club, changes frequently and may often lack dancers of long experience. He was a faithful attendee at the club practices, giving their first morris instruction to many beginners, playing the pipe and tabor, and often bringing new light and fresh interpretation to familiar dances.
