Editorial

Welcome to 2022 – and not quite where I thought we’d be, having slipped back a little on the live dancing and festivals, although many should be going ahead later in the year. It was good to see that ‘unofficial’ small Plough Tuesday and Whittlesey processions complete with Straw Bear took place. Continuing the winter theme, we have plenty of news and reviews on Molly and Mumming. Sadly though, we’re marking the death of Mike Boston with a short tribute to the irrepressible fool of Great Western Morris.
