Read what Cecil Sharp said!

"The dancers met me, I remember, one dull, wet afternoon in mid-winter, in an ill-lighted upper room of a wayside inn. They came straight from the fields in their working clothes, sodden with rain, and danced in boots heavily weighted with mud to the music of a mouth organ ... The depression which not unnaturally lay heavily upon us all at the start was, however, as by a miracle dispelled immediately the dance began, and they gave me as fine an exhibition of Morris dancing as it has ever been my good fortune to see"
