Spring Grove Morris IntroductionSpring Grove Morris is a men's Cotswold Morris side based in Kingston Upon Thames in the English county of Surrey. The side was formed in 1977 and we are now in our 32nd year. In 1507 Morris Dance was first noted in Kingston-upon-Thames - over 500 years ago. Find out more here . New members are always welcome join us, either as dancers or musicians, though all our members are encouraged to perform at least a few dances. Musicians should be comfortable with playing their instruments in the keys of D and G. The most common instruments in use at present are melodeon, piano accordion, penny whistle and fiddle. We practice during the off-season (October to April) on Monday evenings from around 8:30pm. We are fortunate to have the use of St John's Church, Bloomfield Road, Kingston.
