Prepare for a truly unique musical experience as Attila the Stockbroker makes his eagerly anticipated return to St Cecilia’s Hall for his fifth annual Early Music Show. This year, he’s joined by the talented Scottish singer-songwriter Calum Baird, who will be accompanying him on guitar. Attila, celebrated for his wonderfully unconventional take on early music, will be showcasing his mastery of a fascinating array of instruments. Audiences can expect to hear the distinctive reedy tones of the crumhorn, the sweet melodies of recorders, the elegant strains of the violin, and the lively strumming of the mandola. This promises to be a captivating afternoon, seamlessly blending authentic historical sounds with Attila’s signature, irrepressible punk sensibility. It’s a combination that consistently delights and surprises. The concert is scheduled for Friday 14 August, commencing at 2pm in the Concert Room & Music Museum. Best of all, admission to this exceptional event is entirely free.
The performance will feature Attila the Stockbroker on a variety of instruments, including crumhorn, rauschpfeife, cornamuse, five different recorders, violin, and mandola, accompanied by Calum Baird on guitar. The set will draw from Attila's 2018 album Restoration Tragedy, which tells the story of the tumultuous events in England after the execution of Charles I in 1649, with songs about the Levellers, Diggers, and Ranters, and Cromwell's destruction of their dreams for a better world.
Attila the Stockbroker is joined by Scottish singer-songwriter Calum Baird, who will be accompanying him on guitar. Calum Baird is a talented musician who will add to the unique sound of the performance.
The event is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so attendees are advised to arrive early to secure a spot. Please note that this event is hosted by an external organisation and not St Cecilia's Hall.
