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.

My first introduction to ‘Revels‘ was with ‘Revels North‘ at the ‘Dartmouth‘ (at the ‘Hop’) c. 1998. I was a regular, loyal & gung ho attendee & fan for many years — quite a few years. Then … I had by then discovered the Revels ‘Mothership’, i.e., Revels in Cambridge. A couple of years we went to BOTH each Christmas. Yes, one show in Dartmouth & the other in Cambridge. Then for about the last 7 or 8 years (bar COVID) I just went to Cambridge.

Revels North has been under ‘new management’ for quite a few years. I still get all their e-mails. When I was at ‘White River Junction‘, Vermont, last month (going to a concert at Dartmouth) I saw their ‘office’. I want to reconnect with them. This looked like a good opportunity. So, I volunteered.

It is in ‘Fairlee’, Vermont. I have been there once before 18 years ago — to a wedding. I liked what I saw. So, this gives me another chance. Check the event out as well as Revels North.
