Amanda Babington introduces court bagpipes of the 17th & 18th
century France. Wear your silken shepherd robes and have your sheep
beside you for this historical journey. A rare programme on a unique
instrument - there are not many musette players in the world today -the
French Revolution led to this unusual performance art falling sharply
out of favour, but it is an example of fun cultural
mash-ups from the past. Amanda Babington is Artistic Director of Baroque In the North and an acclaimed musicologist. For more information see thenewsagents.blogspot.com
