Tales from St Jude's, Bethnal Green grew out of the band's VOICED residency at Phytology, the site of St Jude's Church in Bethnal Green. Destroyed by a WWII bomb, this place is important to SITW because of their ancestral ties to the parish of Bethnal Green.
The embossed, gold-foiled sleeve comes with a 16 page booklet, replicating the Victorian parish materials and bound in the same cotton archival tape as the original prayer booklets held at the London Metropolitan Archive. With a foreword from the Spitalfields Life writer The Gentle Author, and featuring archive images of the church, printed ephemera, street traders and images from the site. Complete with hand-stamped paper bag with a download sticker on reverse.
***LIMITED DELUXE VERSIONS (the first 50 or so) feature hand-tied dried herb posies from the St Jude's site***
Taken from a 17th Century broadside ballad and set to new music, Cryes is a plaintive lament, cycling through a list of street traders' wares, that becomes more urgent as the voices increase in number.
Broomes comes from a 16th century play “Three Ladies of London”. These words are from the mouth of one trader, whose lone voice seeks to bargain a sale for the most basic of household items.
This way of making a living was once every Londoner's right - to trade on the street - and is now, like many other age old customs, becoming a disappearing sight as legislation and councils seek to monetise common space for themselves and section off commerce to the highest bidder.
