Seven Times Salt Presents "A Health to the Company"

Seven Times Salt visits the 17th century London pub scene on Wednesday, August 4. This convivial program of tunes for the tavern includes jovial drinking songs, love ballads both naughty and nice along with rustic catches for carousing with friends. Imagine an evening in good company by the fireplace with a favorite beverage in hand. The group shares 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, they 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, the program celebrates the joys of gathering with friends. Raise a glass and sing along! This free performance was filmed in the pub at historic Aldworth Manor, Harrisville, NH. Donations are encouraged for this virtual event.

The members of Seven Times Salt are Elise Groves, soprano; Matthew Leese, baritone; Karen Burciaga, violin, guitar and alto; David H. Miller, bass, viol and baritone; Matthew Wright, lute, cittern, bandora and tenor; and Dan Meyers, recorders, flutes, bagpipes, percussion and baritone.
