Sunday Bandstand 5 November 2023

The first half of the show has the theme word 'fire' in the music title. It is Bonfire Night on November 5th here in the UK and the occasion we have what is called Guy Fawkes night. This sees bonfires, fireworks, bonfire comestibles and lots of fun but always remembering to stay safe whilst around the bonfire and in particular the fireworks themselves.

The name our overseas listeners will want to know about is Guy Fawkes and traditionally it is his effigy that is either thrown on the bonfire or is built around it. He and his associates plotted in 1605 to blow up the House of Lords Parliament building in London. If you wish to know more about their dastardly deed which did not materialise please read this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes... He was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. But at his execution on January 31, 1606, he died when his neck was broken as he was hanged. Some claim that he deliberately jumped to make it happen, avoiding the agony of his sentence.
