Subject: RE: Folklore: Padstow 'Darkie Days'
Wigan is fine place full of indep,endently minded people whom I would avoid crossing, so to speak.

I remember a Mummer's Play at Whitby Festval with "Sir" Goefrey Boycot as the Hero. It seems that many people who dig around in Mumming get bored after a while and go off on one of their own. I have to say they can never match the drama of the Antrobus Soulcakers - seriously old and wiered. Unless someone knows something else?
