1965, St Mary's May Day, Isles of Scilly, Traditional May Festival.

Now is the month of Maying! For this months old Scilly movie we're winding back the clock 60 years to when Diane Morley was our May Queen for May 12th, 1965! A big thank you to the Banfield family for letting us transfer this absolute beauty of an 8mm video. There is another 60s May Day video on the way which will appear on Monday. In fact, we'll have a few videos this month as we have V.E day on the way! 😮 A few notes! it was a silent reel and singing/dancing would have been either acapella or with piano accompaniment as with the dances (Mrs. Bandy during the 60s). Instead of leaving it silent I have used an acapella song from a much later May Day (1981) and some of the park ambience from the 90s in order to fill in those gaps; ending with a May Day medley by Wayside Music to accompany the May Pole dancing. I did do an edit using the speeches from more recent May Days, but it was a little too jarring and strange hearing what would be the wrong voices come out of the mouths on the video. So I hope what I did end up doing by adding general sound doesn't detract too much (you can always click mute 😉 ) Enjoy and see you soon for the next video! 8mm transferred in house using a Raspberry Pi4 and HQ camera and adapted projector, frame-by-frame scanning in HD.
