Yes, they are morris dancers. They blacken their faces to appear as Moors, from whence comes the word 'morris' They dance in the 'processional morris' style. They are not 'clog dancers', just a team who dance in clogs. Clog dancers dance as do tap dancers .
Reminds me of the Irish Tap Dancer..........He fell in the sink. P.S. thats a bit of a wander. pmsl.
