Subject: RE: Folklore: Traditional Games at Folk Festivals
Tripe throwing was very popular at several festivals especially when musicians entered into the spirit of things.

I recall a young Keith Moon playing with a skiffle band at Clitheroe in the early 60s and inviting people to throw tripe at his drum kit. He then mashed it in the cymbals, spliced it with his drum sticks and deposited it back over the heads of the audience. Those were the days.
