Grand Union Morris have been delighting and astonishing audiences for nearly thirty years. We take our name from the Grand Union Canal which runs from London to Birmingham and which many of our original and some of our current members are connected to either through business or pleasure.

GUM dance the traditions of the Cotswold villages - Bampton, Adderbury, Fieldtown and over the years have expanded our repertoire to around forty dances including Bledington, Ducklington, Kirtlington, and Moulton traditions. Recently we have added Stretton on Fosse, researched from the original notes collected around the turn of the 19th Century.

Grand Union Morris have appeared at folk music festivals; on BBC TV’s Top of the Pops with The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (KLF); in the Bill Murray movie "The Man Who Knew Too Little"; on numerous television shows and, more bizarrely, radio.

We are proud of our evolution of new dances, and stress evolution - not Revolution - adhering to the traditional styles yet incorporating innovative movements.

Long may the Morris continue!
