The Oxford Waits take their name from a genuine band of Oxford city musicians from the tumultuous 17th century, era of the English Civil War and Restoration. Performing in period costume, concerts are enlivened by street ballads, dance tunes, airs and rounds as well as readings from diarists and poets. Superb singing voices are matched by specialist skills on an array of instruments. A wonderful evening brimming with historical insight and musical pleasure.
