FAQs
How long will you play for?
Every event is different, so timings (and therefore the proportionate fee) are negotiable. For weddings, I can play for some or all of: the bride’s entrance; signing of the register; drinks; wedding breakfast. Playing for the bride's entrance is always a special moment. For this I can play the music for or actually sing a beautiful French renaissance song (in English), 'Beauty who holds my life', which also has a lovely walking rhythm, or another piece of your choosing.
Do you have amplification?
The delicate sound of renaissance and medieval instruments does not suit amplification. However, these instruments, designed well before the day of the PA system, were built for the sound to travel and I have never found being heard a problem.
Will you play in a non-historical building?
My music is particuarly suited to older buildings, but I will play anywhere your event is held. Due to the nature of the instruments I will, of course, only play outside in good weather.
Will you dress historically?
I can wear either medieval, renaissance or modern clothes, as you require.
How many instruments will you play?
My standard instruments for weddings and similar celebratory events are lute, renaissance guitar, cittern, citole, gittern and harp. Practically, I can bring three instruments not including harp, or harp plus one more.
Will you play for guests in the evening?
For an additional fee I can also put on a performance in the evening, with medieval and/or renaissance tunes and songs. I can do this solo or in a duo with a player of recorders, crumhorn, shawm and rebec.
