We are lucky in Salisbury to have so many sources of music and entertainment – not just the Playhouse, City Hall and Arts Centre, wonderful as they are. Most nights there is a concert, play or “gig”, taking place in or near the city. Orchestras, choirs and players offer a rich variety and Salisbury also has a cinema, with an interesting past, showing all the latest films. This talk (or walk) takes the listener back to the earliest medieval processions, the outings by the Salisbury Giant, through visits by strolling players, the first theatres and festivals, mentioning visits by Handel and David Garrick. Like a bright thread through all this runs the daily music and liturgy of Salisbury Cathedral, showing the close links between the choirs and organists
