BBC Recording
It is believed that in 1936, the BBC made a recording of the plays and music associated with Guise dancing however this recording has subsequently been lost. Performances associated with this practice include 'St George and the Turkish Knight' and 'Duffy and Devil.' Each performance allegedly ended with the 'Turkey Rhubarb' dance, the origins of the name of this dance are not known but may relate to the herb of the same name.
Furthermore, there is considerable similarity between guise dancing and the Hal an Tow celebrated in Helston during the Furry Dance some believing that it was actually part of the Guise dance tradition or a later import from "English May Games".
