Barry and Sue (aka: A Merrie Noyse) are
Musicians that perform Medieval, Tudor and 17c music in period
costume on authentic instruments such as the renaissance guitar,
shawm, recorder and bagpipes. We regularly perform at a number of
historic venues including National Trust properties, private houses
and museums and perform at early music events and historic
re-enactments. We also offer a national curriculum linked service to
schools.
As our name suggests, our main aim is
to bring merriment to any event or occasion.
We bring period music to life through live performances, drawing people
in to the spirit of the day. We enjoy having fun and like to reflect
this in our talks, music making, dance and masques.
One of our
many unique points is that we involve people in the process; whether
to play percussion, dance or sing with us.
We enjoy
interacting with people and can discuss and demonstrate
the instruments and music within our historical context.
