FRIDAY 23rd APRIL 2021 had to be St George’s Day at home in Derby
There were dragons, singers, dancers, more dragons, mummers’ plays, St George himself, more dancers, and, oh yes, DRAGONS!!!!
The Derbyshire Youth Folk Ensemble, supported by The Derbyshire Music Education Hub, performed two hornpipes they had learnt and recorded especially for a Broom Dance spectacular performed here by Rebecca Kell:
We also made great use of a lovely song the children of Derby wrote together in 2016 and turned it into a community online sing together as a beautiful soundscape to these lovely St George and the Dragon Well Dressings – do sing along!!!:
Past St George’s Day Celebrations in Derby:
This collaboration of Derby LIVE and FOLK3D has culminated in a massive event each year since 2013 in the centre of Derby city in honour of St George’s Day. Approximately 10,000 people each year have taken part in / passed through the event on the Market Square, where there have been displays of Morris, Sword, Clog, Broom and Maypole Dancing and Mummers’ Plays.
