What's this bickering? Thaxted is Thaxted, Abbots Bromley is Abbots Bromley. They are both unique so take them for what they are and just enjoy.

Just seen this at the Thaxted Patronal Procession under a midsummer night sky in front of the church - absolutely haunting and beautiful despite the aircraft noise. We can't afford to lose wonderful traditions like this.

I love this. Watch it every year. Just been this year and watched it from the Guildhall. Amazing. The most beautiful haunting music. <3 I wish this type of music and dancing would appeal to more young people. we spend so much time accomidating other cultures and customs (not saying it's bad) that we begin to forget our own

What a lovely version. Much prefer this to the Scottish polkas and jigs played by the original lot. Is this the tune Robert Buckley collected from the original dance in the 1800's?

watch it every year in thaxted,luv morris weekend.were english and not scared by political correctness to show it!

Eerie with all that airplane noise above
-
That's funny, because the original version is just goofy as all hell.
-
By the fact that the title has "at Thaxted" I think you can work it out.

I'm sure Stansted Airport wasn't this busy when I saw this about 15 years ago, or I might have just been mesmerised by the spectacle!

I'm in the US, and I decided to check out videos on Thaxted, because some of my ancestors are from there. I think the morris dancing is cool, but I really wish the planes would fly elsewhere!
How can you say this is the Abbots Bromley horn dancers.What a cheek.The dance is always held on the first monday after the first sunday after the 4th of september so this year,come along and see us on the 10th of september,and see the real horn dance.

I didn't say it was the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers.
I'm afraid sharing it here is a by-product of wanting to put it on our blog
Sorry for the confusion.
It is pretty clear that it's at Thaxted.
