I've just stumbled across this video trying to explain to my Uni mates what the Marshfield Mummers are! My younger brother is actually a Mummer and I fully intend to be when I'm back at home. (Hopefully I won't lose my accent completely)!
Oh cool, which character does he play, my uncle and grandad are in it and play little man john and old father bulzibub :)
I was looking for this vid exactly the same way, when explaining to people you watched grown men in newspaper dancing in the street, i have to say it doesent come across very well :) !
I can understand where they get that from, yeah, my cousin collects as well, it gets sad when you are shwoing it to them you can practically recite the whole thing and sing the song! Bad times :)

Ha ha, that's cool. Dick has been doing it for yeaaars now! My brothers not in the play yet, he's just wanders around collecting money.
I made my friends come up and watch it this year so they could experience it properly, they said it was very "surreal".

Absolutely brilliant!!! Marshfield is one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds. As an Ex-Pat from there, I miss it!!!!
