'These are the topping tooters of the town, who play "Lilliburlero" to my Lord Mayor's horse through the city.'
In an exhilarating programme, William Lyons (musician and specialist in performance and Renaissance music) celebrates the music of the Waits - a professional band of musicians who played for civic and ceremonial occasions in major towns across the country until 1835.
