Tomorrow night, there’s ‘Britain’s best-loved classical touring ensemble’ the Locrian with their tribute to composer Antonio Vivaldi.

A spokesman said: “Dressed in lavish period costume with a stunning classical set, these charismatic musicians perform Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, a composition which depicts 17th Century Italian rural life in a wonderfully inventive manner.
