I am grateful and delighted that the first contribution to this section of the Cafe comes from Ron Shuttleworth of Coventry Mummers. Ron is one of the best-known figures on the Morris scene. An avid collector, he is THE fount of knowledge on Mumming, Souling and related plays.
He is the Keeper of the Morris Ring's Folk-Play Archive of more than 2700+ items, probably the best collection of such material anywhere, and to which anyone can have access (see Contact Info below).
Some time back, Ron set down some thoughts on the practice of Fooling, and he has kindly agreed to let the Cafe put them on the Web. To read this excellent article, click here.
