A strolling minstrel, specialising in the music, song and entertainment of Renaissance Europe.

He performs throughout the UK for all kinds of themed events, such as festivals, weddings and banquets wearing fabulous, authentic costumes and playing historical instruments.
Here’s a taste of what he can offer at your banquet:
Reception: lively music on the hurdy gurdy with introductory entertainment from a jester. A short speech to welcome guests and announcement to dinner.
During the banquet: fanfares to introduce each course. Gentle background music on the lute, cittern, English bagpipes and colascione.
Between courses: Tricks and stunts by the jester interspersed with participatory songs by our minstrel, each more daring as the evening progresses.
Impress your guests with magical melodies and ribald humour. Tradition with a fresh, original twist!

The Restoration Rake

This is our early musician at his most modern! His new persona takes him into Restoration England, playing the cittern and hurdy gurdy and singing eye-wateringly humorous songs from the 1650s to 1700s.
