But it was something we did. Again, that angered the owner and he wanted us off of the property,' Holmes said.Holmes said the owner gave them a small amount of time to leave, forcing the band to abandon some of their equipment. He said members have yet to get those instruments back.'He gave us a small amount of time to get off the property and we weren't able to get all of our equipment off, so we had to abandon some of that,' Holmes said.Holmes said he made a few calls to the owner to resolve the issue and get clarity.'He's blocked me on there,' Holmes said.The Renaissance Festival send the following comment in response to the band's departure and fans disappointment.Holmes said he does not know the exact reason behind the decision to release the band from the entertainment lineup.'I'd like to know the reasoning underneath the reasoning because it seems they were sort of minor infractions for people that have been loyal for almost 4 decades,' Holmes said. 'We don't hold any animosity, just curiosity.'
