Stonehenge Summer Solstice Celebrations: The Ancestor & The (Drunken) Druids

Description

From Druids to Morris dancers to a huge model called "The Ancestor", this year's Summer Solstice festival at Stonehenge attracted over 20,000 people to witness the sun rise on the longest day of the year. A time when Pagans celebrate the strength of the sun and the divine powers that they believe Stonehenge to harbour, this year Jon and Ann went down to the Salisbury Plain to see just what all the fuss is about.

What shall we do with the drunken druid? Drunk as hell on druid fluid, What shall we do with the drunken druid? Earli’ in the morning.

Give him a sword and tell him he’s Arthur! Give him a sword and tell him he’s Arthur! Give him a sword and tell him he’s Arthur!

Earli’ in the morning. Iao and alka-seltzer, Iao and alka-seltzer, Iao and alka-seltzer, Earli’ in the morning!

What shall we do with the drunken druid? Drunk as hell on druid fluid, What shall we do with the drunken druid? Earli’ in the morning.

Tie him to a stone until he’s sober, Tie him to a stone until he’s sober, Tie him to a stone until he’s sober, Earli’ in the morning!

What shall we do with the drunken druid? Drunk as hell on druid fluid, What shall we do with the drunken druid? Earli’ in the morning.

Well, this is certainly something I had always heard about but never actually seen via video. They look pretty happy about what they are doing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

 Great to see your continued admiration for my music guys!  I really appreciate it!  If I remember rightly you recorded an entire set that night.  Any chance you can upload it anywhere?  Or contact Frank and arrange something.  Would be great for our archive!!! :D
