For our third Inside Serenaders evening we celebrated 13th Night. Festive songs from All Souls’ Day right through to the eve of Epiphany were sung. It might have been a day or two late but the spirit of 12th Night was present in the form of the Master Of The Revels (Pete Serenader in lovely cloak and bird’s nest hat). The result was chaos of a thoroughly joyous kind.

Our generous audience donated £385 which we have passed on to Crisis, the charity which helps people who have nowhere to go but the streets.

Many thanks to John Watson for joining us and for these pictures of the band…

Here we are greeting commuters today. It’s all part of a Friends Of Lichfield City Station initiative, so thanks to them for inviting us.

Generous passers-by mean we can send another £50 to the Crisis charity.

Thanks to Andy for the video.

This Saturday the Wayside… or, rather, Yuletide Serenaders will be singing and playing for commuters, either leaving from or arriving at Lichfield City station. So, whether you’re heading into Sutton Coldfield or Birmingham New Street, or arriving from Four Oaks or Shenstone, we’d love to see you.

We’ll be on the platform from 12.45 to 1.30pm. Toot toot!

The Wayside Serenaders are playing an exclusive, private Birthday Brunch at a classy residence tomorrow morning, but just so the rest of you plebs don’t feel left out, we’ve added some recent videos to the VIDEOS page.

Check them out here.

This week the band swapped musical instruments for culinary ones. A feast of food and drink in the balmy summer evening air.

Next week it’ll be trying out a few new tunes and preparing for a private party.

Dam Street, Lichfield. Between about 11 and 12.30. A neat quintet making an untidy noise.

Hope to see you!
