I got the above, a few days ago, in an e-mail. It was sad & distressing. After a 7- or 8-year break, I did go to the ‘Christmas Revels‘ by ‘Revels North’ in 2023. I, as I had done for a few years in the past, went to BOTH ‘Revels North’ & ‘Revels Cambridge‘.
Revels North, way back, c. 1998, was how I got into Revels — now a cherished, much longed for annual ritual. They used to do GRAND show.
This is a shame.
Revels Cambridge is THRIVING. They are just selling $300 tickets for a PUB event! As you might know I, a few weeks ago, attended their Spring Equinox event. That was good.
I feel bad for Revels North. They are in bad shape.
I hope they can get out of the ‘hole’ they are in. The Christmas Revels is the SHOWCASE for any Revels outfit. IF you don’t stage that, you will have trouble attracting attention.
But, I wish Revels North all the very best. I might even contact ‘Alex’ (who I know) & have a chat.
