Subject: RE: trained dancers in pub sessions
Does that apply to Mummers' Plays too? Recently went to the Mummers' Unconvention in Stroud where our all-female group, The Meadows Mummers frae Edinburgh were to appear. VERY crowded pub full o' well-oiled punters - "where on earth do we do it?" - but it happened: somehow a small space materialised - got slightly bigger during the inevitable fight (well who wants to be struck down by a light sabre?) and room for 2 "dead bodies" to lie on the floor and be revitalised by the traditional quack Dr. Repartee was fantastic!
And there was much dancing by whole Morris teams later, and great singing, grand night!
