To give you advance warning I make a return visit to Dunsop Bridge alongside singer/songwriter Andy Hill - Friday 9th April, St Hubert's, Dunsop Bridge - 7.30 pm.
I have been busy composing a new tune - all set in 1635. Urban XII was the Pope and two of his Cardinals were both called Barberini, presumably from the same family. In order to impress the Pope, who had a collection of rare harps, they commissioned a tripleharp - now known as The Barberini Harp - you can see it in a museum in Rome. My tune centres around a Priest who 'borrows' the Cardinal's hat for a day and gets into all sorts of trouble. Eventually all is resolved when he dances the Tarantella and rids himself of the 'spiders in his head' which seem to have caused all the bother in the first place...
