FTX-116 - DANCING IN THE STREETS

ABINGDON, SHOREHAM & THAXTED

The Abingdon (Oxfordshire) Morris-men with their musician, Fanny Fryer (melodeon), were recorded by Peter Kennedy in London's Trafalgar Square in 1956 - then we hear May Day festivities at Shoreham, Sussex with the crowning of the May Queen - finally there's Whitsuntide street-dancing at Thaxted, Essex
