Seven Times Salt visits the 17th-century London pub scene in this convivial program of tunes for the tavern including jovial drinking songs, love ballads both naughty and nice, and rustic catches for carousing with friends. We imagine an evening in good company by the fireplace with a favorite beverage in hand. We share tales of pickpockets and punks, wise maids and goodfellows, the wonders of tobacco, the pitfalls of gambling, and the delights of good ale. Between toasts, we contemplate the meaning of life and reflect on unrequited love. Rounding out the evening’s merriment are works by Wilbye and Ravenscroft along with a generous helping of dance tunes. In the spirit of cheerful musical camaraderie, our program celebrates the joys of gathering with friends. Raise your glass and voice and sing along! Filmed in the pub at historic Aldworth Manor, Harrisville, NH.
