Hells bells!
JUST weeks after doom-mongers sounded the death-knell for Morris dancing it is set to make it big in a movie.
Morris: A Life With Bells On is being hailed as the next feel-good British blockbuster, following in the clog-steps of Billy Elliot, Calendar Girls and The Full Monty.
The only problem is that the low-budget flick on the uniquely British tradition is not being shown in cinemas because distributors don’t want to back it.
So to get a buzz going it is being shown on a 21-date tour of village halls. And an internet campaign has been launched to try to win a wider audience. A petition at morrismovie.com has more than 3,000 signatories.
