»The Boatemen«
Ballads and dances brought across the 17th-century seas

Programme:
John Dowland, Henry Purcell, John Playford, Frederic Handel, Turlough O`Carolan

On this musical voyage, we will sail the seas in company of a Jovial Crew, including the ship`s Noise, the Fiddler`s Wife and a Ferret, passing by medieval Guernsey, renaissance Spain, Elizabethan England and baroque France. Ashore, Mr Priest will guide our steps, lest we be led astray amongst the sirens and Witches, or suffer an encounter with Mal Sims or the Spanish Jeepsies. And no doubt, the Mariners will row well, serve God daily, love one another, preserve their victuals, beware of fire, and keep you good company.
