If your event would benefit from having live professional musicians and display dancers together with some audience participation if you so desire, please give us a call on (02) 62811098 or email us. We can provide colour and movement to attract and entertain your audience. Our professional musicians play period instruments that are suited to both stage settings, wandering minstrels or indoors. Historical garments are chosen to suit your occasion - whether they be Victorian ballgowns and top hats & tails or 18th century/Regency gowns or Baroque gowns, frockcoats & breeches or elaborate Elizabethan Renaissance gowns. Our program is chosen to suit your occasion, audience and space provided. We have performed in the past at festivals, fairs, weddings, parties, conventions, schools and balls.
