    Maddy Prior and the Carnival Choir

    A sequence of songs for the Winter Solstice and the Christmas Season filmed on location in Cumbria. A unique mix of medieval lyrics, English and European folk carols, contemporary comedy and reflections on the season of goodwill, delivered in rich vocal harmony to the accompaniment of ancient and modern sounds. This Yuletide cocktail is guaranteed to be an evening of consummate musicianship laced with good humour, and will charm even the most Scrooge-like heart.

    After the performance has streamed (estimated duration 1 hour) we invite you to 'come backstage' and meet Maddy and members of the band on Zoom, for lively chat, and the answers to your questions about a partnership which has been delighting audiences worldwide for over 30 years.
