This is not your standard concert. Unwind on a beanbag with a drink in hand while the award-winning Barokksolistene’s The Alehouse Sessions catapults you back in time to a jam session. Encounter dance, improvisation and storytelling as Usher Hall turns into a London pub straight out of the 1680s.

Folk music, classical music and ballads abound, making light (and dark) of Oliver Cromwell's puritanical mission to stop the music. The award-winning ensemble Barokksolistene are experts at reinventing the feeling of losing yourself in an English tavern.

Boasting a line-up of virtuosic instrumentalists and vocalists, Barokksolistene promises a joyful night of folk songs, sea shanties and overtures. You'll know some of the tunes already, while others will have you toe-tapping and humming along in no time. The group – whose tagline is 'it’s just old pop music' – will have you wondering why you haven’t been listening to this music all along.
