Having lived in three different Kingdoms I have seen musicians treated
in everything from completely ignored to avid attention and standing
ovations. I'm afraid most people at an event consider the live troupe
in the corner to be *Muzak*. Trying to do a *performance* in the feast
hall is akin to standing on the street corner downtown - some will
listen, some won't. However, the noise level goes on and on...
Perhaps a set up as a chamber group giving an actual concert. I don't
recommend using the main hall for reasons listed as above, but anyone
who interrupts the concert could be given the *eye*. While living in
Drachenwald I attended a flute and piano recital. Everyone went into
the chamber, they locked the door! This poor guy at the back of the
room had to visit the privy. He stood up and room went silent. The
music stopped and everyone stared at him until he slunk (sic) back to
his chair. This may be a little extreme for SCA use, but the musicians
and patrons were serious about *their* music.
