This is a member of a group called the Strange Fruit United Bell-ringers. Five bell-ringers were up masts like this one. The masts had springs at their bases and the musicians could make them sway around by leaning this way and that. The lighter coloured poles had bells on their tops too. The bell ringers made their masts sway between these poles and, as they got near them, they struck the bells with the hammers that they held. Some of the musicians had small hand-bells too. It was an aerial ballet as well as a musical concert of great charm.
