Purcell and Pork Scratchings:
classical music goes on a pub crawl

Classical music moves out of the concert hall into the pub, courtesy of The Night Shift as players from the world renowned Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment take the music straight to the people on an unprecedented crawl of London’s pubs, covering all four points of the compass from 31 January to 22 February 2012.

Following The Night Shift pub tour, this ground breaking no rules classical event launches the Reverb festival at the Roundhouse in Camden, London on Friday 24 February 2012.
