At Christmas be merry! York's Tudor town band and singer Deborah Catterall take up this Elizabethan exhortation to celebrate the festive season, with a lively programme of English medieval and renaissance music. Beautiful singing of ancient carols accompanied by an extensive array of period instruments ranging from harp, lute and fiddle to hurdy-gurdy, shawms, curtal and bagpipes, not to mention crumhorn, sackbut and recorders of many different sizes, all engagingly evoking the Christmas of a bygone age.
