2010 MOG & Richard Thompson
An exciting collaboration between Philip Pickett, the Musicians of the Globe and folk legend Richard Thompson
Foot-stomping folky ballad tunes, fine sentiments, immoral tales & scurrilous doggerel. Philip Pickett and the Musicians of the Globe join forces with folk legend Richard Thompson in a programme of spicy ballads, folk songs and dances from Shakespeare’s London. Together they explore an eclectic mix of Elizabethan popular music from London's taverns, streets, coffee houses and private rooms, with a host of unusual instruments including violin, recorder, lute, bandora, early guitars and viol.

2010 Partnership with Bridgewater Hall
Philip Pickett, New London Consort & Musicians of the Globe
Associate Artists of
Manchester's Bridgewater Hall
Following their performances of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo in 2007, Monteverdi’s Vespers 1610 in 2009, and Shakespeare’s Musick with the Musicians of the Globe in 2010, Philip Pickett and his ensembles have been appointed Associate Artists of Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, working with the hall's programmers towards common goals for artistic projects, education and audience development over the next few seasons.
This is in recognition not only of the high quality of their performances, but also of the enthusiastic and warm response of audiences to their work in Manchester over the last several seasons, and their innovative and adventurous programming.
In the press release announcing the Bridgewater Hall's 2010/11 season, Artistic Consultant Peter Davison writes : ‘We are looking forward to working with our Associate Artists in coming seasons, allowing us to be more adventurous and taking audiences on new journeys.'
To initiate this new partnership Philip Pickett and the New London Consort will perform their new production of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen directed by Mauricio García Lozano on 20 February 2011 at the Bridgewater Hall - part of a European tour that will take the ensemble to major venues in the UK, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and Spain
