In pictures: musicians from the OAE perform in Bristol Old Vic's paintshop

Musicians from the world-class early music ensemble arrived at Bristol Old Vic's backstage venue, The Paintshop, after a quick tour of some of Bristol's best pubs (where they were performing, rather than partaking of beverages). The late night crowd was treated to some of the most beautiful works of the Baroque era.
