Smutt were formed at Whitby Folk Week 2006 by a young group of rapper tarts who couldn't get enough dancing during the week. After the good fun they had at Whitby, they held an AGM and decided to keep the dream alive. It was also decided they would focus on dances from specific traditions rather than making dances up because they are not inventive enough to do so and it would also provide an outlet for the more geeky members to do some research. Smutt dance Newbiggin, North Walbottle and Murton. Since their creation they have aquired several new dancers and musicians, danced at a few festivals and drank lots of beer.

Smutt dancing some figures from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea on a very slippy floor at Sidmouth Folk Week 2009.
Smutt dancing their version of North Walbottle in the Zetland at Warwick Folk Festival 2008.
Smutt dancing Murton for the very first time ever at Warwick Folk Festival 2008. This dance is back to front compared to a normal rapper dance which makes it very confusing, as the video shows!
