Change of Artist

Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances Benjamin Hulett (tenor) is no longer able to perform in this concert. We are grateful to Thomas Hobbs (tenor) for stepping in as his replacement.

Enchanting anonymous lyrics, many perhaps written by Dowland himself, and music that strikes the heart with the intense expression of love’s sorrows and life’s joys flow from The Second Booke of Songs or Ayres. The collection’s 22 songs and one instrumental piece contain some of Dowland’s best-known works, ‘I saw my lady weep’, ‘Flow my tears’ and ‘Fine knacks for ladies’ among them.
