In the spirit of the eighteenth century (where there was always a concert going on somewhere in a room above a pub!) The Vauxhall Band will perform at Mc & Sons, a historic pub in the heart of Vauxhall, in the very room upstairs where the 'gentlemen of the orchestra' from Vauxhall Gardens in the eighteenth century used to eat.Come along for a relaxing Sunday afternoon musical soirée, drinks available from the bar.
A small pocket of creative activity by specialist instrument-makers such as the Stanesby, Potter and Urquhart families, led to a vast output of finely-crafted, unique flutes in London.
The Vauxhall Band perform music for the flute, violin, cello and harpsichord inspired by the stories of the people who made the flutes, performed on them, by composers associated with Vauxhall Gardens and London, including Thomas Arne, Handel, William Boyce, Lewis Granom, Carl Weiss and James Oswald, plus some Scottish and Irish folk tunes.
Laura Piras – Flute
Anna Brigham – Violin
Carina Drury – Cello
David Wright – Harpsichord
Tickets £12.
