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

听
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.
