Come to Thaxted in Essex on the first weekend of June, and see it done properly in a quaint olde village late in the evening, with a spooky tune on the fiddle rather than a jolly ditty.

@LuvDaDoc its next to the fire station isnt it :s
-
@Wadsleyite those particular antlers are over 1000 years old as we got them carbon dated a while back and the carbon dating wasnt very accurate then but it said the antlers are at least 1000 years old. i love being so in touch with history as i am one of the dancers myself :-)

@ElunedLOTR hey the main reason (we believe) for the whole dance itself is it was a fertility dance hence why they used to go round to all the farms and dance there :-) but we dont go to that many farms now but there are a fair few

So, what'd they play before the advent of the accordion?

Excellent, thank you. I was just reading about this, (the sort of thing I read :) ) and wondered if it was on YouTube. The origins are seemingly obscure, aren't they? I'm glad to have seen it. Thank you.

@LuvDaDoc It's Lintake Drive

Everyone should visit this in September - it's a wonderful example of our heritage being kept alive. If you want to discover the true magic behind the ritual read - Dance for Deeron - by Jany E Winslade. See you there this year.

Eccentric behaviour is everywhere pretty much. England, Scotland &Wales' being a small countries, seems to have a lot though. Let it continue!

it's fantastic, isn't it? Just on this Monday morning gone; next one I think is 8th Sept in 2008, when all being well I'll follow them all day.
