| The original Masons Apron practised at The Masons Arms in Headinton which is where their name came from. Since then because a number of dancers joined from the Witney and Long Hanborough area it was decided to move to the present headquarters. We were first taught dances by The Hertfordshire
Hollies some of which are still danced. Since then we have attended several
workshops, collected dances from other generous sides and created two garland
dances of our own. From our early days we have been fortunate to have wonderful
musicians. Our first musician was John Graham from Headington Quarry. During
this time Steve Griffiths joined the band and has stayed with us, does he
deserve a medal? from time to time others have joined and moved on. Today the
band consists of Steve Griffiths on the accordion, Mike Richardson trombone, Mike Shrimpton on drum, Bob Dunlop on the melodeon and Jules Brooks on whistle |
