By 2019 English Miscellany had enjoyed 43 years of dancing and singing together and entertaining folk, meeting and making new friends around Britain and across Europe.

Now age and health had started to take its toll we took the very hard decision that it was time for English Miscellany to stop performing before we became an embarrassment to ourselves and the Tradition.

Small groups of us continue mumming and singing, we still try to get together for a glass of ale or a jug of wine, and we remain firm friends but our days of display dancing are over.

Our files have been passed to the County Archive in Hertford, some of our gear has been passed to other folk dance groups around the county.

Thank you all for your support over the years, we have enjoyed it. We hope you had as much joy and pleasure from our performances as we had in delivering them.

Keep dancing, keep singing, keep the Tradition.

Since our foundation in 1975 we have established contacts with many folk groups both in this country and elsewhere in Europe. We have always tried to arrange a visit abroad each year, usually to visit another group and stay in their homes, to experience other folk traditions and ways of life. Similarly we have invited groups to visit us, to introduce them to our own traditions and hospitality.
