Senoufou	Folklore: The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance (85* d)	RE: Folklore: The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance	27 Apr 18
Forgive me if someone has already posted this, but the reindeer horns used in the dance were fairly recently carbon-dated to around 1065AD. There was doubt as to whether any reindeer existed in this country in those days. It's more likely they were imported, but no-one can suggest why. I wonder if they were brought over by the Normans (as living beasts) during the Invasion of 1066AD. I find the tune (especially played on a lone violin) absolutely haunting and mesmerising.
