>> WINTER'S RETURN 2024 <<

At the darkest time of the year we bring you music across the ages from around the world, played on a vast array of exotic instruments. Hurdy gurdies and harps rub shoulders with citterns and bouzoukis, hammered dulcimers, whistles, violin, recorder and even the odd guitar or two (or three).

We've been doing these concerts since 2010. Even through the pandemic we produced pre-recorded concerts for two Winter seasons, 2020 and 2021, from studios 1500
miles apart. We reunited for a live stream concert in 2022 before getting back onstage in 2023, touring to real non-virtual venues with real audiences. Took our first break in a decade in 2024, and we're now looking forward to filling our calendar for 2025.

Until then, please enjoy the three years of online concerts, which we have re-released for this Holiday season.
