Winter Warmer 6th-8th February 2026, Lancaster and Carlisle. The draft programme is here. We’ll be playing in some fine historic venues. These cities have been chosen not only because they are lovely historic places with castles and ancient places of worship, but also because they both have interesting iconography of taborers. Lancaster City Museum has a carved wooden panel with figures who may be mummers or morris dancers, accompanied by a taborer. Carlisle Cathedral has carved figures at the top of a stone column, one playing a fiddle, one a comical acrobat and a taborer. There is also a cute little taborer on a chalice in the Treasury.
IPATF 2026 26th-28th June in York, including playing for the York Mystery Plays on Sun 28th June.
Zoom Session Sunday 18th January, 4pm-6pm UK time.
