Back by popular demand, the self-taught and self-proclaimed David Munrow of punk brings his Early Music Show to the beautiful surroundings of St Cecilia's Hall for the fourth time. He explains how his fascination with early music came about, inspired by his first encounter with the humble recorder aged six. He'll demonstrate the crumhorn, cornamuse, rauschpfeife, sausage bassoon and loads of different recorders, and play songs from his 2018 album Restoration Tragedy about the Levellers, Diggers and Ranters and their challenge to Cromwell during the Commonwealth after the execution of Charles I in 1649.

About the show

Attila the Stockbroker brings his Early Music Show to the beautiful surroundings of St Cecilia's Hall, returning by popular demand for the fourth time. Self-taught and self-proclaimed, he explains how a childhood encounter with the humble recorder first drew him to early music. In the show he demonstrates instruments including the crumhorn, cornamuse, rauschpfeife, sausage bassoon and a range of recorders, and performs songs from his 2018 album Restoration Tragedy — a work about the Levellers, Diggers and Ranters and their challenge to Cromwell during the Commonwealth after the execution of Charles I in 1649.

Why see this show?

A free, oddly compelling mix of punk energy and medieval instruments. Attila the Stockbroker is a singular performer who makes the history of early music genuinely funny and engaging, even if you've never heard a crumhorn in your life.
