| Comments: | South Down Defenders F.B. Newry will be holding their annual parade on Friday 29th August 2008. The main parade will get underway at 8pm with bands to assemble at Ardmore police station on the Belfast Road. We endeavour to support all bands who support us. Disco to follow afterwards in Newry Orange Hall.
Could all visiting bands please adhere to the marshals along the route and assemble as quickly as possible due to probable time restrictions. Whilst on parade bands are advised to remember that various authorities will be monitoring the parade and therefore we would urge all bandsmen to respect their environment and ensure that the loyalist marching tradition in Newry will remain for years to come.

A big thanks to those band members who played, also to tobermore football club for their generosity and support! Not forgetting our loyal supporters who made the short bus journey to follow the band. A very successful night in Tobermore and i hope that there is more to follow WE're orange,,,We're white,,, we're bloody dynamite we're S-O-W...F-B |

| Comments: | In reply to E.K .Robertson : As a visitor to Cookstown and seen the S.O.W's on parade ,i have never witnessed anything to link band with goose stepping nazi's.The Irish Republic to their eternal shame, harboured ,and re-fuelled Nazi U-boats,that then went out and torpedoed civilian passenger ships .Left their lights on to guide Nazi warplanes ,that went on to bomb Belfast and Clydebank in Scotland.Resulting in thousands of innocent civilian casualties .Hitler ,Musselini ,De-Valera = Fascists .Read your History and you will find the common denominator.As for a meaningless battle over 300 years ago,Britain and indeed my homeland of Scotland was saved from Popery because of the actions of 13 of my countrymen at the siege of DERRY.This resulted in A PROTESTANT MONARCHY ,a United Kingdom and a Country FREE from Religious Despots.Visit a library and read History books ,its free to do in OUR Country and after all as the song goes -"IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY".Fenians and traitors we'll keep on defying- FOR GOD and for SCOTLAND we'll always be TRUE. |

| Name: | Elmid Kyle Robertson |
| Comments: | Congratulations on keeping hatred and bigotry alive. While many Irish people look forward to a bright future in the 21st century and beyond, it is good to know that there are some backward people like yourselves who will never give up shouting platitudes about Ulster and meaningless slogans about a battle between foreign kings 300 years ago. The children will learn stupidity from your band and continue for generations to come to keep Ireland divided to the tune of marching Nazi feet and lambeg drums.
You could always knock it on the head and be part of the solution. |

| Comments: | Dear Sir , I have enjoyed looking at your web-site & especially enjoyed listening to the music . It is gratifying & re-assuring to know that organisations such as yours still continue . PLEASE do not believe the propaganda pumped out by the BBC ! Most people I know on the 'main-land' love & support Ulster & the 'Unionist' cause , so don't feel alienated . I am in my 40's and meet many people in the course of my duties across The Country and would advise many people admire the Unionist's 'spirit' & wish they ( & the 'politicians' who represent them , i.e traitors such as Peter Hain ) had their courage . Yours faithfully , G.J. Dennett . |

Who cares about them the band did'nt need them 30 years ago and they don't need them now. It is the band that has brought the community together theres not to many young lads running to join a community group like they are the band. Luke would you please email me the dates of big parades and concerts during the day for this year. All the best for the year coming in FGAU.

| Comments: | Cracking website luke, just a quick message to say how well you have all played again during the marching season. Although i didn't make it across for the robinson parade, i was on the phone when you came into the Shankill and i must say i had hairs on the back of my neck standing up. It was also a pleasure to walk with you at the Annual demonstration and to get to know quite a few of you. Look forward to seeing you all again next year Well done and keep up the good work, For God And Ulster.
From your friends in Cumbernauld |

| Comments: | As the marching season comes to a close, we would like to, on behalf of the band (SOWFB) take this opportunity on our own website to thank all the loyal supporters who have supported us throughout this year both here in Ulster and of course, our brothers and sisters from Scotland (especially Cumbernauld). This has been a very successful year for the band in every way. It would not be possible without the hard working band members and the devoted supporters who are 100% behind us. Their financial support is amazing from travelling with us on the band bus, to going to our concerts and functions.
Regrettably for every 100 good supporters, there are always 1 or 2 people out there who feel they have to go out of their way to drag the bands good name down! The band members know who these people are but it makes it worse when they are from our local community and also members of loyal orders and other bands. Instead of letting this affect the band, we use this as an incentive to drive forward and make our band better. We will prove this by coming out as a bigger and better band next year. Back to a more positive note, although the marching season is now over, we have a lot of concerts rapidly approaching which we are looking forward to. As a result of these concerts coming up, they promise a few more great days out for the band and its loyal supporters. For God & Ulster |

| Comments: | Great website you've got going luke you have put a lot of time into it,the pictures were fantastic so were the video's.The band is the best in the land not many bands get clapped from the Rangers Supporters Club to the Liverpool Club on the Shankill Road but you's did and its a great credit to the band.Its a good sign when people are jealous and make up stories about the band it means they can't be beaten any other way.You's carry the colours with pride the sword looked well at montober's parade great music well done this year,same as every year really. GOOD LUCK and NO SURRENDER S.O.W.F.B

| Comments: | Hey Luke, sorry to hear about the unwanted stuff you get on your guestbook, i get this everyday too on our website, just ignore them, if anything they are jealous, Your band has become one of the finest bands in the country and this angers some people when they see a band sounding, looking and playing so well, just go out and do what you do best and give them something else to talk about. Hope to see you at our contest mate,
