The Yetties take their name from the village of Yetminster in north-west Dorset and were around long before Dr. Who discovered any such beastie. One of the countries they have toured is Nepal where Yetties are very welcome!
The band first became involved in Folk Music back in the 60’s. They used to run a Song club in Yeovil where, among their guests, they booked Paul Simon. His fee was £7 but they paid him a £3 bonus because he was good.
WORLDWIDE ambassadors for Dorset with nearly 50 albums of song, countless tours and hundreds of Radio and Television performances, both here and abroad, behind them the Yetties have been professional for 40 years.
