>> WINTER'S RETURN 2023 - TOGETHER AGAIN!! <<

As we approach the end of 2023, 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).

After producing pre-recorded concerts for two Winter seasons, from studios 1500 miles apart, and reuniting for a live stream concert in 2022... THIS year we are back onstage, touring to real non-virtual venues with real audiences. We hope you can be in one of them!
