A programme of Ballads, Ayres and Dances from 17th Century Scotland, performed in period costumes. Expect everything from Celtic tinged instrumentals, to melancholic Scots ballads and even lute songs from John Dowland (whose fame had spread across the border from England), in a programme which demonstrates the vitality of music that, although almost 400 years old, has lost none of its power. Back by popular demand, Hannah Morrison’s pure and sweet voice combined with the citterns, gitterns, lutes and flutes played by Dominik Schneider and Mark Wheeler will ensure some great music making. But it is the improvisation, wit and spontaneity which add theatre to the performance and make Pantagruel memorable - and remind us why nothing beats live music.
