Hello everyone,

The Road to Peterloo, a concert performance by Pete Coe, Brian Peters and Laura Smyth about the Peterloo massacre, using broadside ballads and radical verses of the time to tell the story of the background, the events of the day and the aftermath, is coming to London next week. We're at Cecil Sharp House on Wednesday, October 9th, at 7.30 pm.

Event details.

TRTP Website.

“A benchmark in its musical portrayal of a key historical event… a fine team brings the essential narrative to life through authentic sources, good musicianship and vital, committed performances… the songs are brilliantly reinvigorated to emerge entirely fresh."

The event has been moved to the main hall after ticket sales exceeded the capacity of Trefusis. So, contrary to earlier reports, there are still tickets left.

Nice to hear of a success like that. Hope the main hall sells out, too.
