The Drinagh Mummers - Something special for you As promised here is a recording of The Drinagh Mummers in action in the Coal Bunker in Drinagh, Co. Wexford last night.

Wexford Mummers There can be a lot of confusion around the term 'mummers' when it comes to people getting dressed up in Ireland at Hallowe'en, Christmas, St. Brigid's Day, Easter etc. Some people will refer to anyone in disguise as a 'mummer' while depending on where you go in the country you will have a string of local names for people who get dressed up and house call and perform. Here in this part of north Wexford you'd have different names depending on the time of year and event and these in

Straw Boys of Ireland 🌾 Also known as 'mummers ... Strawboys were groups of revellers from Sligo who traditionally visited weddings to bring luck to the couple. Dressed in costumes made of straw and with their faces covered, they would arrive uninvited, dance with the wedding party, sing songs, and share drinks. Their presence was believed to bring the newlyweds luck, wealth, and health. As seen here in 1940 | Irelands past in Motion
