[Musicians] Dance band at A Summer’s Dance on Aug 13

[via Musicians]

"A Summer’s Dance" was a great event. We had music and dancing all afternoon and evening, with breaks between sets and time for dinner and court. That made for a good pace for both musicians and dancers. I hope the dancers had as much fun as the musicians did.

 

We had a great group of Musicians: 

*         Estrill Swet (percussion), 

*         Karl Thorgeirsson (drum), 

*         Alexandré Marcellus (tambourine), 

*         Llywelyn Gruffydd (viols da gamba, crumhorn), 

*         Ysabel de Picard (hammered dulcimer), 

*         Walter Robin (violin, cello, mandolins), 

*         Reis ap Tuder (mandolins), 

*         Toinette de Cambrai (flute), 

*         Emma de Fetherstan (recorders), 

*         Vigdis Gráfeldr (harp), 

*         Xene Theriane (harp, guitar, recorder)

 

We had enough players that nobody had to carry the melody all the time, which allowed us to change instruments frequently and have a different mix of sound for each dance. This made it fun to play, and hopefully more interesting to hear.

 

Thank you to the musicians, dance leaders, and Cantons for a wonderful day.

I don’t think there is anyone leading the dancers or musicians. Several teachers are doing dance classes.  Bring all of your dance music and we’ll see what happens.
