ACCLAIMED musicians Blast from the Past will give A Brief History of Music - taking in 600 years of musical history in 90 minutes.

The fun and fast-moving show - which will be staged at Settle’s Victoria Hall tomorrow - is a whistle-stop tour of musical history, beginning in the Middle Ages and ending up in the 20th century.

Using long-forgotten songs and tunes, Blast from the Past paints a vibrant and vivid picture of our musical DNA, mixing the familiar and the obscure, the raucous and the reflective and the courtly and the commonplace.

The musicians will play a bewildering array of instruments such as virginal, rauschpfeife and lute - and that’s just in the first 100 years!

The show combines the vigour of the medieval period, the musical intricacy of the Renaissance, the grandeur of the Baroque and the pomp of Victoriana.

It starts at 8pm and tickets are available from 01729 825718.
