They have delighted audiences all over the world with their unique blend of music, drama, song and dance. The masked tradition of 'mumming' in Ulster dates back 2500 years. In the ancient annals of Ulster, men in tall conical masks are mentioned as chief entertainers to King Conor, who lived at the royal fort of Emain Macha. This tradition finds voice in the work of the Armagh Rhymers, who incorporate the old and the new in a variety of different shows that are suitable for all age groups.
