Our dances and tunes  

Little is written down about the type of dances performed by the original Mollies, so much has been invented and the dances continue to evolve. The tunes are traditional and played on hurdy gurdy, accordion, melodeon, whistle, recorder and drum with support from the percussion team on jiggle stick, tambourines and anything else at hand.
