Archet Aid! 8 bands! Fishing, plays, competitions, drills, markets! A huge audience! And a brand-new Strollers song! Here it is, along with lots of pictures!
First of all, grand work by all involved in hosting Archet Aid this year! It was a truly spectacular event, so well done to the organizers! At the bottom of this page yer can see a lot of pictures from the night.
The Strollers once again played at Archet Aid, with the help of Tibba, Nimelia and Pennyroyal. A bit of Ruffing and bouncing ensued, but we also played a brand-new song, Sweet Pie! This is best sung to the tune of that grand master bard Lou Reed's song Sweet Jane, which yer can listen to below.

Sweet Pie
Now it's time for supper Belly rumbling loud Some want pork with crackling and some mushrooms A dish which would make me ma proud But still there is something else The food, I want tonight And all the hobbits join this song with joy Come here, enjoy a bite
Sweet pie! Whoa! Sweet pie! Oh-oh-a! Sweet pie!
They say hobbit ways are simple But nay, that's not true Just look at the care and effort In the pies we made fer you We have pies with fluffy mash, woha With bacon and cheese, and extra bacon too With cherries, and wild berries, and Shire apples Pour the custard, and let's chew
Sweet pie! Whoa! Sweet pie! Oh-oh-a! Sweet pie
Now hobbits, let's sing this song together And all yer dwarves and longshanks here, come join in too The simple joys of supper Makes the grey clouds pass, the sky turn all blue And know that even ashen burned-out homesteads Can be home to life tonight Come and let us share these pies, and turn the dusk to bright light So let us make this pledge tonight That we will share this meal together No matter what yer have to fight A slice of pie will make things better
Sweet pie! Whoa! Sweet pie! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet pie! Sweet pie! Whoa! Sweet pie! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet pie!
