The Darlington Mummers - Diary - 2018
Darlington Mummers Diary
Darlington Mummers are the Oldest Revivalist Mummers Team in the country (the team not the performers) (well some) NB We are a Mummers Team, we do Plays, not Dances
Darlington Mummers are a revivalist team but with our own 50 year tradition presenting Mummers Plays at Folk Clubs and Festivals; while for many earlier years we simply appeared out of the blue in local pubs. Our stalwart play was long the Pace Egg from Lancaster but for many years now we have performed also a Wooing Play, a Souling Play (featuring Dick the 'oss) and plays from as far as Netley Abbey, Hampshire and as near as Haughton le Skerne. We have also a fine Tup and an Old 'Oss custom. Whilst ever light hearted we are careful never to turn the traditional play into a pantomime.
Delighted to say Rick Huddlestone helped us out at Saltburn Festival and played our horse superbly at the Station, Community Centre and Emmanuel Hall.
(We didn't do the Cons Club garden this year, no one there!)
Very sorry to say the Folk Music community lost John Taylor in November. Greatly missed organiser of decades of Festivals at Saltburn and Redcar and the Cutty Wren Folk Club
We meet at the Britannia, Archer St., Darlington DL3 6LR, overlooking the ring road as it joins Bondgate.
Meetings vary. Depends what's on and how much practice we think we need. Next Meeting
We need new members. If you're not too far from Darlo, have a good voice but can't act why not get in touch?
