An evening of mediaeval, renaissance and baroque music
for winter and Christmas on period instruments

The Night Watch :
Winter Warmer

After the sell-out success of Winter Warmer 2011 we are planning to repeat the show in 2012 over a much wider geographical area. Thank you to all who made it such a success. Watch this space later in the year for 2012 shows.

The Cleobury Clarion review of the 2011 show said, “It was a measure of the way they captured the audience’s imagination that announcing the final song produced a loud groan, so they played an encore and were rewarded with prolonged applause. They had entertained, enlightened and educated their audience, and very few musicians can do all that in one performance. If you can, go and see them. They are rather special.”

The Winter Warmer is The Night Watch's show for winter and Christmas. Expect the very earliest known English song (about the winter weather), French renaissance dance tunes which became better known as Christmas carol tunes, and 17th century broadside ballads about festive drinking and the Christmas spirit.
