If you have ever wondered what Morris Dancing is about, with bells around their shins, flowery hats, waving hankies and clattering sticks together, Pete Burren from The Hartley Morris Men tells us all about it.

They are the longest Morris Dancing side in North West Kent dating back to 1934.  Pete reveals the mystery of it all and tells us why he has danced with them since 1979, why did someone dance from London to Norwich and just what is that strange figure with the head of an animal?
