I am from Drummuck near Maghera. I attended Trench Belfast in the mid-1960s and Seamus Heaney was one of my teachers. I am now working on a new play about N.Ireland in 1956. Would you believe it that as a "nipper" I was a Christmas Rhymer in South Derry and that then a few years later I took part in the famous mummering tradition of Newfoundland?

Ritual
by Mike Boyle

Ìý
My father walked every square inch of
the grazing fields at Dunghlessa and he
talked to the animals each day. .
lowered his voice in a trance as he
looked for the white horned cow
to tie a red ribbon on it's tail.
