 Sharp was intrigued by the music and collected several tunes from the side's musician, William Kimber; not until about a decade later, however, did he begin collecting the dances, spurred and at first assisted by Mary Neal, a founder of the Espérance Club (a dressmaking co-operative and club for young working women in London), and Herbert MacIlwaine, musical director of the Espérance Club.Neal was looking for dances for her girls to perform, and so the first revival performance was by young women in London.In the first few decades of the 20th century, several men's sides were formed, and in 1934 the Morris Ring was founded by six revival sides.
