EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an ancient English Easter custom, the Nutters Dance, also known as the Coconut Dance or the Britannia Bacup Dance, as it was performed at the York Summer Festival in 1950. The tradition, deeply rooted in the history and folklore of Lancashire, England, is led by a charismatic figure dressed as a whipper-in, who symbolically whips away the winter with a plume-topped whip. The men in the photograph don colorful costumes, adorned with skirts, clogs, and plumes, as they dance in a lively and synchronized manner, shaking coconut shells and clapping their hands. The Nutters Dance is believed to have originated as a way to welcome the spring season and drive away evil spirits. The Britannia Bacup Coconut Dancers, a renowned troupe from Bacup, Lancashire, are renowned for their vibrant and energetic performances. The dance is a cherished historical custom that continues to be celebrated in England, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and traditions that have shaped the country's identity. This photograph, taken at the York Summer Festival, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when such traditions held great significance in the lives of the community. The Nutters Dance remains an enduring symbol of England's rich and diverse history, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage.
