Our side
Our kit
We wear dark shoes, trousers and t-shirts or vests with our star logo, with a tattercoat (usually an old blue shirt with collars and sleeves removed) of navy blue, royal blue and yellow tatters and a woven flax top hat with a band of the same tatters around it; plus any additional decorations we choose! This often includes feathers, badges, flowers, whatever. We also wear bell pads when we are dancing.
We dance using short and long sticks, and occasionally yellow hankies.

We have videos on our YouTube channel, mostly ones we use to learn the dances.
