It was a chilly morning for an early start with our “Winter Wassail” concert starting at 11am in the Globe’s indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, but afterwards the audience warmed up with some wassail punch and mince pies! We received some interesting instructions beforehand including a direction not to wear hairspray, due to all the candles and bare flames in the indoor theatre, making it a fire risk! But although it was cold outside, we received a fantastic and warm reception for our concert, and the playhouse was one of the most beautiful and intimate spaces in which we have ever performed. It was a great start to the season and we hope it is the first of many concerts we perform there. It certainly got us all into the Christmas spirit!
