Join us in the fabulous surrounding of the Tudor Hall to listen to Ayres and Graces, aka Nick and Natalie, provide a concert of late renaissance songs; mainly English, but including those from a selection of European countries.

They perform in period costume, using copies of instruments of the period. And will include a little about the instruments during their programme,
and they shall supplement the evening with some poems or short prose passages that set the scene for the music.

It was common for musicians of the period to travel abroad to explore the new music that was coming out of other countries, especially Italy. John Dowland, a lutenist to James I, travelled to France, Germany, Italy and finally Denmark, being employed in both Germany and Denmark for a period of time.
