The Musical
Heritage of Thomas Hardy Thomas
Hardy, world famous for his novels such as 'Tess' and 'The
Mayor of Casterbridge' came from a very musical family. In
their concert 'The Musical Heritage of Thomas Hardy', The
Yetties take their jogs, reels, polkas and waltzes from the
Hardy family collection and intersperse them with readings
and poems by Thomas about the village musicians.

idea of this recording was first mooted by the Dorset Archives
we immediately thought there could be no better way of celebrating
our 30 years of singing Dorset's praises around the world
than producing this truly Dorset experience.

Back
in 1971 The Yetties recorded a live album Our Friends
The Yetties at Decca Studios in London. This all went
swimmingly and they finished with hours to spare. The audience
went off home and the band was about to depart when Kevin
Daly, the producer, came up with an alternative plan. He had
the studio booked and he was determined to make the most of
it. At that time Decca were producing their 99p 'World Of'
series of LPs. They had the 'The World of Scottish Music',
The World of Welsh Song' etc., but amongst the huge catalogue
there was no 'World of Irish Dancing'. Kevin knew that Pete
and the other friends on the recording, Dave Kettlewell on
flute and Oscar Burridge on fiddle, were well into Irish music
and he suggested they knock together an LP. The caretaker
at the studio also played the piano and in five minutes flat
a band was formed, a variety of jigs, reels, waltzes were
decided upon and the tape was running. Now, this LP was going
to be aimed at the Irish market so it was no good calling
the band The Yetties therefore, in honour of Kevin and his
whizzo idea, it was named O'Dalaigh's Ceili Band.
Mac took a photo of The Bristol Irish Dancers at Sidmouth
Folk Festival and that was the sleeve sorted. The LP sold
by the thousand...
