Ludlow Festival: 25th June to the 10th July 2011

The City Waites in Concert

Riotous songs, ballads and dance tunes from the tavern, theatre, court and countryside of 17th century England



With a riot of period instruments,  four lusty voices and the exuberance of an early travelling band, The City Waites sing, play and jest their way through comic ballads, theatre songs, street cries and foot-stomping dances from the court to village green. This deliciously eclectic and sometimes bawdy repertoire constitutes one of the richest musical veins in all of Western tradition.

 ‘Effortless purity of style’ – San Francisco Chronicle; ‘An amazing performance’ – The Guardian; ‘Rock and roll with crumhorns’ – Melody Maker; ‘Smashing performances, an absolute winner’ – Classical Music.
