Following on from their acclaimed' A Brief History of Music', GreenMatthews are heading to Worcester with a new show.

This time it will "explore our rich history of witty wordplay and melodic mirth".

A spokesman said: "Chris Green and Sophie Matthews, otherwise known as GreenMatthews, are modern-day balladeers, specialising in telling stories through song.

"GreenMatthews are firm believers in the age-old power of narrative song to delight contemporary audiences. Taking their cue from ancient troubadour tradition, they are 21st-century wandering players – touring their self-created shows extensively throughout the UK and Europe. Although their music and tales are rooted in the past, the performance is entirely of the 21st century, immediate and accessible to modern audiences."

Chris Green and Sophie Matthews will bring you four centuries of chromatic comedy.

The date for the diary is September 24, at The Swan.
