Purcell and a Pint

4 November @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

£20.50

Purcell and a Pint is back in Cambridge with a new programme! Join Eboracum for an evening of rowdy drinking songs, popular folk tunes and more!

Purcell and a pint will transport you back to the alehouses of 17th century England. Taverns were raucous surroundings and overflowed with music, alcohol, sex, gossip, fights, fumes, shouting, singing, laughing, dancing…. Our performance won’t have all of those!

We’ll be performing a mixture of instrumental tunes and songs by Purcell and lots of his contemporaries to create our own 17th century pub gig. Audience participation is a must! This is a new programme, so if you’ve been before, there will be lots of new tunes but some of our old favourites will remain.

Beer collaboration to be announced. Non-alcoholic refreshments also available. Featuring: John Holland Avery – Baritone Miriam Monaghan – Recorders Miri Nohl – Cello/Viol Laurence Lyndon Jones – Harpsichord Chris Parsons – Trumpet and Cajon FURTHER DETAILS For ticket enquiries, please email admin@eboracumbaroque.co.uk or call 07827 207 150. We are a small organisation but will get back to you as soon as possible. Tickets include a 50p booking fee to help cover the costs we are charged by PayPal.
