Seven Times Salt visits the 17th-century London pub scene in this convivial program of tunes for the tavern including jovial drinking songs, love ballads both naughty and nice, and rustic catches for carousing with friends. We imagine an evening in good company by the fireplace with a favorite beverage in hand. We share tales of pickpockets and punks, wise maids and goodfellows, the wonders of tobacco, the pitfalls of gambling, and the delights of good ale. Between toasts, we contemplate the meaning of life and reflect on unrequited love. Rounding out the evening’s merriment are works by Wilbye and Ravenscroft along with a generous helping of dance tunes. In the spirit of cheerful musical camaraderie, our program celebrates the joys of gathering with friends. Raise your glass and voice and sing along!

SoHIP Virtual Concert Series - Songs, Spoons and Strathspeys
Berwick Fiddle Consort: Lydia Becker, Julia Connor, Sarah Douglass, fiddles; Joella Becker, cello; Élise Paradis, spoons
Irish folk music, traditional Québécois music and Cape Breton fiddle music all have Celtic roots, yet these oral traditions have evolved in very different ways. Over many generations, specific geographical areas developed distinct performance practices resulting in unique, unmistakable sounds. The program presents historical folk music from these various traditions, exploring the common threads that connect them as well as their special characteristics. This lively, driving, foot-tapping repertoire springs to life with the consort’s signature gutsy sound of baroque fiddles now joined by cello and spoons.
