A group of two or three musicians 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 Medieval or 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, bagpipes, sackbut, fiddles (medieval, Renaissance & modern), clarinets (early and modern).

Reviews

Wedding Thank you so much! I wanted to also send a thank you message, you provided exactly the atmosphere and entertainment we were looking for! I heard loads of praise from the guests as well.

The big group dance was a definite highlight. Also I loved the fact you picked out my eldest brother as The King for the play as well. Please share my praise with the whole troop and apologies I didn't have time to say hello in person on the day.

I'll be recommending your troop for sure.
