GreenMatthews: A Brief history of Christmas
November 28, 2021 @ 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM GMT
£15
Acclaimed musicians Chris Green and Sophie Matthews are joined by Jude Rees to present a festive romp through 600 years of Christmas music, songs and carols.
Beginning in the Middle Ages and ending in the 20th century, ‘A Brief History of Christmas’ is a whistle-stop tour of the origins of our midwinter festivities. Featuring long-forgotten folk songs and tales as well as some familiar and well-loved carols, this is a show guaranteed to delight the hearts of young and old.
The show takes in 600 years of live music – featuring music and songs played on archaic instruments such as cittern, shawm and rauschpfeife, as well as more familiar instruments such as guitar, flute, oboe and accordion. and all helped along by GreenMatthews‘ trademark wit and humour.
‘A Brief History of Christmas‘ is the perfect show for anyone looking to recapture the simple Yuletide delights of fellowship, laughter and good cheer, and we are delighted to bring them live to your living room for a special online gig.
