The Mummers are a band based in the English seaside town of Brighton, centred around London-born singer/songwriter Raissa Khan-Panni, composer Mark Horwood (before his suicide in September 2009), producer/writer Paul Sandrone and co-producer/manager Alastair Cunningham. They take their name 'Mummers' from the medieval performing troupes who would go from door-to-door wearing masks and costumes, staging plays in rhyme and song and mime.

Famous quotes containing the word mummers:
“What cared Duke Ercole, that bid
His mummers to the market-place,
What th’ onion-sellers thought or did
So that his Plautus set the pace
For the Italian comedies?”
