The Yetties

The Yetties (John "Bonny" Sartin, Pete Shutler, and Mac McCulloch) were an English folk music group, who took their name from the Dorset village of Yetminster, their childhood home.

Since turning professional in 1967, their music took them from Dorset all over the UK; appearing in Europe and, under the auspices of the British Council, they performed in many countries, including Thailand, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Pakistan, Sudan, India, Bangladesh, the Maldives, the Philippines, Ethiopia and Canada.

[citation needed] They were often asked back to locations, becoming regular performers at various annual events, including the Farnham Beer Exhibition and many more.

Some songs recalled life when they were children, helping farmers harvest; scrumping apples; raiding hedges, fields and woods for food and eating rabbit for seemingly every meal.

[4] On the evening of 21 September 2014, it was announced on the official Yetties website that Pete Shutler had died in Sherborne Hospital.
