Emma Curtis & The Frolick Plus
Top of the Pops of London’s Baroque in modern innovative cabaret style, with completely authentic sounds of original historical performance.

The Frolick has three virtuoso violinists, a cellist from the English tradition, lute and baroque guitar, Welsh triple harp and a versatile English songstress playing both men and women - sexy, smart and fun.

Huw Daniel, Catherine Martin, James O'Toole - violins,
Frances Kelly - welsh triple and celtic harps,
