George from Nuthall rang the phone-in. Some 50 years previously they used
to do a play around Christmas time in the Brinsley and Underwood area. They
called themselves guisers. The play included St. George of England and Slasher
who used to fight. There was a song very similar to Good Master and Good Mistress
sung earlier by IJ. He used to play Beelzebub when he was 5 or 6 years of age.
Adults taught them the play but only children took part.They used to earn over
one pound each in 2 or 3 evenings which used to pay for all their Christmas
presents.
