De naam is afgeleid van Baggeshotte Common, ontmoetingsplaats van de beruchte 18e eeuwse snelwegmannen, geleid door kapitein Macheath. De naam is overgekomen tijdens een vroegere productie van Chalemie, de John Gay&#8217;s Beggars&#8217; Opera. Sindsdien houdt de groep zich vooral bezig met muziek uit de middeleeuwen en vroege renaissance, van de 14e tot de 18e eeuw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zover als we weten had de stad Bagshot oorspronkelijk geen eigen Waytes, ,maar muziek en dans zullen hier in vroeger tijden zeker geklonken hebben. Het logo, met de afbeeldingen van herten, gekruiste pistolen en schalmei met trompet verwijst naar de tijd dat Baggeshotte Common een koninklijk jachtterrein was. Schalmei, trompet en trombone zijn de hoofdinstrumenten van de groep, maar net als  de meeste waits wordt ook op vele andere instrumenten uit de betreffende periode gespeeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/stadspijpers.nl\/index.php\/internationaal-festival-van-stadspijpers-6-8-september-2024\/\">terug naar Festival-2024-pagina \/ back to the Festival-2024 page<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baggeshotte Waytes are a subgroup of the Chalemie Theatre Company, which specialises in the recreation of early music and dance theatre.
