Thread Name: Enq. Guildford Surrey singaround
Subject: RE: Enq. Guildford Surrey singaround
Topsie,I know that the link will spell it out, but maybe you should have said that the event in Guildford on January 6th is actually Twelfth Night - the wassailers process round several pubs in the middle of the town - the King and Queen of Misrule are chosen in the Star first, and the Guildford Mummers' play is then performed in each pub in turn, with, at the end of each performance of the play, a mass rendition of three (or thereabouts) carols takes place -carols sung vary from pub to pub. Great fun, but definitely NOT a singaround! I live in Guildford, and I can't say that I know of any singarounds in this general area (as such) that take place on a Friday. There are some in Godalming, a few miles down the road, on, I think, a Wednesday, but as yet I haven't been to one of those.
