Cornett, saggbut and curtal, flutes, recorders, crumhorns, bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies are just some of the instruments played by the super-talented York Waits. The long-established music group not only take their name from the ancient city band of York - the earliest evidence for which can be found in 14th-century records - but also dress like them and perform in their style. 
This latest concert, titled Fortune My Foe, sees the ensemble providing ‘a soundtrack and narrative to the origins and aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605’.
