Never one to shy away from a crafty pint, our Artistic Director Christopher Monks has rounded up some of the wonderful world class artists Armonico Consort frequently works with, and chats to them over a beer (or beverage of their choice).

The series of Q&As will be on Facebook at 6pm each evening during Festival Week, so why not grab yourself a glass of something chilled and find out more about some of our fabulous friends.
