Ceremony of May logo


The Ceremony of May is based on poems from Rose Blakeley's book 'A Pathway through the Seasons', which is a collection of stories in rhyme that takes the reader on a fascinating and enchanting journey through the seasons. It is based on folklore, history and English customs, and as you travel along the pathway, you will be accompanied by all aspects of nature including flowers, trees, butterflies and birds. Garry's idea was to add music to the pot and in doing so has created an album full of colour and character that is quintessentially English. With its heady mix of dance tunes, songs and spoken word the album relates the story of the Jack-in-the-Green.
