Lucie Skeaping introduces performances from The Carnival Band and vocal students from the University of York in an edition from Beverley Minster as part of the Beverley and East Riding Early Music Festival.

This festival, which also forms part of the Hull UK City of Culture celebrations, includes a fascinating exhibition "Through the Looking Glass" which comes direct from Antwerp Cathedral, ahead of a pan-European tour that ends in New York. The music manuscripts of the German-Dutch Petrus Alamire (1470 - 1536) belonged to some of the most glittering personalities of the time and are some of the most decorated illustrated choirbooks in history, with some of the most intriguing stories. They portray the opulent world of the 16th century, lived in by rulers, noblemen, musicians and even spies.

The ever-entertaining Carnival Band mix dozens of styles of music together with instruments from across the
world in a programme inspired by their current quest to rediscover and perform 100 broadside ballads � the pop
music of the 17th century. Their subjects were love, politics, battles, crime, folk tales, and sensational accounts of monsters and disasters. In this concert the women take centre stage � female soldiers, cunning tricksters, noble heroines, and girls who know what they want and how to get it! Vivien Ellis and The Carnival
Band bring these characters vividly to life with an array of instruments, full vocal harmony and an infectious sense of fun. �The purists must have been squirming. The rest of us were having too much fun to care.�
