Medieval Performer # 671

A group of two or three musicians drawn from King's Lynn Waites playing popular music from the 12th to the 19th centuries, in costume for Medieval Banquets, Weddings and Concerts
This is the ideal group for fêtes, garden parties, dinners, weddings, etc. where a smaller group is desired, or in a more intimate setting.

The group wears Renaissance dress and performs on a variety of early instruments as well as singing.

The group has an extensive memorised repertoire and can play from a balcony or gallery, or in the corner of a room, or will roam about freely, playing as they go.

The group specialises in "playing about the streets", giving your street market or town festival an exciting, colourful and tuneful added dimension. They are used to working together with other performers, such as actors, dancers, jugglers, street entertainers and re-enactors and will adapt their performances to fit in with others.

They are also available for entertaining musically illustrated talks, and for demonstrations and workshops in schools, covering social history and the history of European popular music from earliest times up to the nineteenth century. Opportunities can be provided for active participation in musical improvisation and performance, and dance.

They also perform popular music and songs and English folk dances from the Georgian period in appropriate dress.

The group play the following instruments:
shawms, recorders, cornett, lysard, serpents, sackbut, slide trumpet, rebec, cittern, harp, fiddles (medieval, Renaissance & modern), violas, trombone, clarinets (early and modern), flute.
