Welcome to another episode of MUMHEADS, The Original Philadelphia Mummers Podcast!
On this episode, we're talking about the String Band Stimulus Package, a concept designed to re-ignite the level of competition amongst all bands; allowing for all string bands to fight for the top prize on New Year's Day!
We're also featuring our first installment of "Mum Wars", where host Jeff Kirby will be taking on John Wernega of the Fralinger String Band in debating the most underrated string band shows of all-time.
We also want to give a shout out to three businesses who have donated goods to our String Band raffle; Taxes by Heather, Sisu Physical Therapy, and Core 3 Brewery. More details about these businesses and their contributions to our fundraiser can be heard on this episode.
If your business would like to donate goods for our raffle to help us raise funds for the String Bands, please email
[email protected]. Your donations will be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to enter our raffle, chances are just $5 each. Please enter by visiting GoFundMe.com, and searching for Mummers Hat Fundraiser. Or, simply visit the MUMHEADS Facebook page for more information.
