The Whispering Road part 2 :: The Clee Hill Mummers
Nick Hennessey with Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer with their story The Whispering Road and the Clee Hill Mummers carrying an ancient tradition.
Drawing on the rich Swedish folk tradition and instruments, through spoken word, song and music The Whispering Road tells the story of hope in the darkness, of two strangers bound by a ring and of the one who could not love.
Slick and professional is a description that's never been applied to the Clee Hill Mummers. In the words of one of the cast: " You have to have a bit of imagination to know what's going on", but they carry on a long tradition of winter entertainment.
