Internationally acclaimed a capella trio Coope Boyes & Simpson will
be
joined by Fi Fraser, Jo Freya and Georgina Boyes to present their
"hit"
concert of tradional Derbyshire and Yorkshire folk carols
"Voices At The
Door" at Guildford's Holy Trinity Church on Tuesday
18th December. Classic FM
Radio's Natalie Wheen has described the
singers as her "favourite, favourite
carols singers".
The concert combines carols with stories of squabbling
choirs,
composers, collectors and controversy in a words and music
programme
of superb unaccompanied harmonies and fascinating historical
detail.
The music includes include "The Wexford Carol", several examples
from
the still vibrant Sheffield tradition of pub carols, "Adam
Lay
Ybounden" from the 15th century and several wassails.
Voices at
the Door captures the essence of the season and, as one
reviewer put it, "it
will clear all that supermarket muzak out of your
head".
Tickets are
on sale at Guildford Tourist Information, 01483 444333.
