I was at Thaxted ring meeting in 1969? The horn dance performance was the highlight of the weekend. It got the hair on the back of your neck up! I believe the reason that Thaxted are "allowed" to perform the dance is that they "rescued" it when Abbots Bromley ceased performing at some point.
I first heard it on a recording made at Thaxted on a tiny hand held cassette recorder, about 1975. Even with the poor quality of a tape played though a 2" speaker, the atmosphere of the performance was quite magical and when I got to hear it at the event couple of years later I was not disappointed.
Love that tune!! I'm going to work it up on my old 5String!! Thanks for posting. Wouldn't have the music lying around would you? would be a great help, thanks. No problem if not, just thought I'd ask.

You'll find it at folktunefinder.com/tunes/67580 in the original key.
As it happens my own transcription from years ago.
@@anahatamelodeon Hey thanks for that. I'll get to work on it.
❤ I love this tune, but the B part is tricky on mandolin.
