Given the season, we are trying this on Saturday 21st. December. Some of us may be running away to the Mediaeval Baebes gig afterwards...

The Early Nights Club

A mixture of early, folk and early electronica to celebrate the Solstices and Equinoxes, held at one of London's best known music pubs [https://www.thebetsey.com]. Good food and drink here too! Check in advance if planning to eat at the pub.

Each set last for about half an hour, with breaks in between; timings are approximate.

 

Winter Solstice [21st. December]

William Summers - early flutes, recorders, crumhorns

1.30 William will play music by Bach, Telemann, Van Eyck, Couperin and maybe a few others, sometimes accompanied by Daniel Wootton. 

 

2.30 Arthur Jeffes - piano. Arthur plays with the Penguin Cafe Orchestra [https://www.penguincafe.com] as well as solo.

 

3.30 Sunken Gardens - William Summers on early wind; Daniel Wootton on electronica.

Medieval meets sequencing with our new pioneering genre of Early Electronica.

 

4.30 John Cass - folkish rock with a [Scottish] West Coast vibe. Try this song for a flavour of his work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wKSJNnH3C8

The sets will each last for around half an hour, with breaks between them for drinking, eating, chatting, exploring Clerkenwell.. We will start at some time between 12 and 1pm, and will finish by 4pm. Entry is free, and a collection will be taken for the musicians.
