The Alderley Edge Mummers still perform in the Macclesfield area in January.

For the second time in two years they came to The Harrington Arms in Gawsworth where our ancient and fine session is still going strong despite the fact the pub has changed hands in the past few months (the new licencees seem keen for the music to continue, so let's hope they stay true to their word).

It's always a joy to see the mummers when they come around (they finish up in most excellent Waters Green Tavern in town). They are fine players and Bold Slasher's death scene is almost worthy of a Shakepeare play.

Long may they continue!
