   About y’Strel’s Band
Here we are at the beginning of the summer season (which makes it sound like Blackpool's North Pier - but not quite) and we've got some very tasty things in the diary - and always happy to add one or two more, if you have anything to offer. The high spot for us is, of course, the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival - where we'll be joining the comrades for a jolly weekend of songs of class solidarity with the usual choruses of class betrayal. See you there. We've been asked to play a set of sea songs - not the most PC of material, I have to admit, so there may be some vigorous debate following the set. Why do the women always die? - or get pregnant? - or are abandoned? - or give sailors the pox? Why are the men such bastards (why do you have to ask???) Hopefully the weather will be good to us again -lat year we were probably the only band to play out of doors during Dorchester Festival - we even got some sunshine. This year we'll be playing from the bandstand in Borough Gardens which will be a bit of a change from a neolithic henge.
