A YORK early music band are planning to break their personal record by performing three concerts in a single day.
They may be short of puff by the end, but the York Waits may well be glad of the sit-down - they'll have spent the day before playing their way around in the Sheriff's Riding procession.
The group, which recreates the city band of York as it was in Tudor times, will perform their festive concert marathon on December 22
They will start at York Guildhall at 11am, move on to St Botolph's Church, Bossall, for 2:30pm, and move on to the Friends' Meeting House, Kirkbymoorside, for 7:30pm.
"Three concerts in a day will be hard work," said Waits member William Marshall. "But our forbears, the original York Waits, were busy at Christmas, too, so we have to live up to their example."
