Schedule

it will be performers only until after November 18.

Playlist

We’re committed to doing Greensleeves; I thought the Greensleeves
to a ground sounded pretty good; maybe we could mix it with Anne
singing a verse or two to the ground, and with the Charleton duet
arrangement for two recorders.

The consensus was that we should look for some more Playford, not
necessarily vocal. Newcastle and “A maid peeped out of her window”
were mentioned.

People have reservations about a Babylon set in this context.
