Happy May Day, and bravo to all those Morris dancers up at 5am to welcome in the May-o.
Such a lot of “May” songs for the singers to choose from like “May the bird of paradise fly up your nose”.
Ok, MAYbe not!

Big Beltane fires in Edinburgh last night. Great May Day session in the Scottish Story-telling Centre this afternoon: just "celebrating", among other things, the imposition of the 50p per unit minimum alcohol price just brought in by the Scottish govt. Hope to be out in mumming gear on Saturday for the May Day parade!

Just celebrated May (the month not the PM) in our local with wassailants, Morris dancists, clog stepping, music and much merriment:-)

I think it should be compulsory.

Force the May be with you.

If anyone's in Padstow for May 1, keep an eye out for my friend Robert Rodriquez. He's blind and balding, and has the tan skin of a Dominican - although he's from Manhattan. He has a great breadth of knowledge of folk music and folklore, and he's a great storyteller. He's very excited about being in Padstow for Mayday.

Are businesses closed on May Day in England? In other countries?
Not here in in the US. It's just a normal day here.

Joe - May 1st isn't a bank holiday in the UK unless it falls on a Monday, otherwise we have a bank holiday on the following Monday. (Bank holiday = most business will close)
