Hi Ciaran,
If you follow the link you may read an article I did some years ago.

Up to last year the tradition has been carried out by Stephen Guthrie and Joe Geraghty. Unfortunately last Christmas was the first year without this lovely part of Castlebar's Christmas Festivities.

In Britain there has been a revival of this and other medieval customs . For more information on this revival and historical background see :http://www.townwaits.org.uk/
