Purcell's Polyphonic Party, John Dipper, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer

You are cordially invited to a party at the house of Henry Purcell in the year of our Lord 1686. R.S.V.P.

Find out what would happens when some of his more distant friends from rural Sweden and beyond gate-crash with their instruments.

A light-hearted programme of music seamlessly blended folk with baroque, Swedish with British and more. Prepare for a humorous fusion featuring the spinet, nyckelharpa, viola d'amore (and a light sprinkling of accordion, gandola and flageolet). Featuring a range of instruments, songs and stories let yourself be transported back to the year 1686...

Purcell's Polyphonic Party are a trio of musicians that come together to combine their love of Purcell, Playford, Baroque and the Nordic Noir. With 99+ strings to their armoury of instruments you can be assured that an evening has plenty of variety. The multi-talented trio will transport you via the medium of song music and story.
