Sadly, Peter Kennedy died on June 10th 2006. (Peter Kennedy, "Mr Folk", Times on Line obituary). However his site at http://www.folktrax.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/menus/music-types_list.htm "Folktrax" lives on, in the Internet Archive, "The Wayback Machine", I'm sure that Peter would be delighted! Just put the above URL for Folktrax into the Search box. There are entries from February 12th 2003 until April 30th 2007, unfortunately not all the links work (not in the archive), but a goodly number still do. Similarly, if you try http://www.folktrax.org/ on the Archive you see 6 years from August 2000 (You get a message from Virgin media saying that you are not allowed to see this site, for http://www.folktrax.org/)
There are 5 new sites referenced and 14 updated URLs referenced on my updates page. The number of sites logged is now 829, however this includes those who have fallen by the wayside and no longer exist. Current estimates are that there are around 14,000 morris dancers in the UK, and that even the politicians are noticing, even forming their own morris sides!
Again, I repeat my warning about "cyber squatters" stealing registered morris sites, often to substitute a pornographic site link. Make sure you keep your registration up-to-date - use a reliable ISP such as mine, Orpheus Internet have been very good to me. If you have problems with cybersquatters, try contacting Nominet who have a dispute resolution FAQ.
Watch out for Morris: a life with bells on, and they seem to have taken some sensible and good advice about the morris dancing.

I logged the 800th Morris Web site in March 2007! Whether there are that many still active is another question. Maybe 80-90% of all Morris Dancers can now be contacted with the aid of a few of clicks of your mouse button or an email! This site is compiled by John Maher aided and abetted by Bristol Morris Horse (who insisted on moving to the MMD stables). Many thanks to those that still help, and those that have helped in the past Jeff, Rich, Tom , Chris and many others for their assistance in compiling this information. Keep Morris Web Information Up-to-date! PLEASE fill in Jeff Bigler's Morris Link Submission Form or contact with Morris information not included here, or if you have any Morris News to tell.
