The Artisans: an exciting new medieval and Renaissance band

The Artisans

An exciting new medieval and Renaissance band .

They have an interesting variety of well-researched programmes of music spanning four centuries from England, France, Spain and Italy. With exotic dance tunes to rousing chorus songs, their playing enchants all those who hear them.

The musicians bring together a broad experience from both the early music and folk worlds. Performing on a variety of fascinating instruments including recorders, bagpipes, vielle, harp, rebec, symphony, oud and a variety of percussion, this is a band to watch out for!
