What a great time at GK last night! The room had an awesome vibe as we rehearsed some new songs. We also officially accepted two more new members into our family. Special thanks to our New Year’s arranger and guest conductor, Tom King, for leading a fun, exciting rehearsal.

We are saddened by the news that legendary mummer Don Morrissey has passed away. Don was responsible for writing a few of our most successful routines in the early 2000s. We would like to extend our condolences to Don’s family, friends, and the greater Mummers’ community.
