Given that our May meeting fell on May Day itself, I wanted to offer a brief look at the extraordinary May Day celebrations in Padstow, Cornwall, which I have been lucky enough to witness. It’s old, complicated, with various mumming characters, and the whole town gets involved, dividing into two teams, each following a different ‘Obby ‘Oss. There are a number of songs, which are sung pretty much for days and it seems that everyone in the town can play the accordion or the drum. The effect is a combination of heart-warming community spirit and an uncanny sense of something big and ancient from which no one is free to diverge. It won’t surprise you to hear that these festivities were the inspiration for the 1973 folk horror movie The Wicker Man.
