AT CHRISTMAS BE MERRY!

The York Waits and Deborah Catterall on Friday 2nd December Pickering Parish Church  7.30 pm

At Christmas be merry!  York's Tudor town band and singer Deborah Catterall take up this Elizabethan exhortation to celebrate the festive season, and return to Pickering Parish Church with a lively programme of English medieval and Tudor music.  Beautiful singing of ancient carols accompanied by an extensive array of period instruments ranging from harp, lute and fiddle to hurdy-gurdy, shawms, curtal and bagpipes, not to mention crumhorn, sackbut and recorders of many different sizes, all engagingly evoking the Christmas of a bygone age.
