Trailer: BBC Four - The Alehouse Sessions (intro)

Описание к видео Trailer: BBC Four - The Alehouse Sessions (intro)

Tune in this Sunday at 9pm, 23rd of April on BBC Four for The Playhouse Sessions, a new film directed by Dominic Best, capturing the sound world of rebellious London under Oliver Cromwell’s draconian laws.

When 17th Century England went into lockdown and the Puritans closed playhouses and theatres, musicians and performers took to the backrooms of taverns and alehouses to vent their anarchy.

Roughly 400 years later, the Barokksolistene created the Alehouse Sessions, a project in which they perform folk melodies, sea-shanties, bawdy ballads and cheeky ditties alongside ayres and dances by Purcell and Playford in tribute to the sonic world of 17th century English tavern music.
