Full Biography

Highlights
* Unique, fun medieval ensemble
* Use a range of historic instruments 
* Up to four performers

The King's Minstrels have extensive experience in all types of events and are very flexible in their approach, allowing them to fit into any situation. Being able to play both ‘soft’ medieval music on lutes, harps and fiddles, and also ‘loud’ on shawms and bagpipes (all performers are multi-instrumentalists) gives a great range of options to suit the place, time and occasion.

The King’s Minstrels can also run a 'medieval ceilidh', teaching and leading some simple dances for all.

This variety makes The King’s Minstrels a great option for wedding ceremonies, dinner music, drinks receptions and outdoor events.
