about this event
Following on from their acclaimed show A Brief History of Music, GreenMatthews bring
you a new show which explores our rich history of witty wordplay and melodic mirth.
Chris Green (piano, guitar, accordion) and Sophie Matthews (early woodwinds, flute,
saxophone) bring you four centuries of chromatic comedy, ranging from bawdy
Restoration ballads to stinging Sixties satire via Victorian music hall variety. Featuring
songs by Noël Coward, Tom Lehrer, Flanders and Swann and a host of other lesserknown songwriters, this fun and fast-moving revue will have you rolling in the aisles.
