During the day, the Early Music Shop will be running their pop-up shop, offering you the chance to ask questions from their experts, purchase music and see their amazing range of instruments.

Great! We’re hoping to have the booking link by the end of this week. I’ll add your name to the list and send you the booking link as soon as we have it. In the meantime could you send your name and instrument to amanda@baroqueinthenorth.com please? Look forward to meeting you soon. All the best. Amanda

Hi – I am a lapsed grade 4 violin player who is interested in learning a medieval stringed
Instrument . I live in Scotland but am near Manchester this weekend – should I book ?
Hi, I’m so sorry for some reason this message has only just shown up. You could at least have come along and talked to Peter at the Early Music Shop (where they have lots of medieval string instruments!). I’ll add you to our mailing list so you get notifications of future events. Out of interest, where in Scotland do you live? I give concerts across Scotland with my ensemble AB24, and I’m a visiting performance fellow at Aberdeen university so I might be able to point you in the direction of something interesting nearer to home too!
