Made in Elizabathan England

We play a variety of reproduction traditional instruments to create the sound and atmosphere of England as it was in the late 16th century. Many of the instruments from that period have a magnificent and very evocative sound, a sound we aim to revive.


So, our instruments range from quiet renaissance recorders and violin, though the curiously curved crumhorn to loud shawms and English bagpipes, with the odd plucked-string instrument thrown in.

de Mowbray’s Musicke also run period dances. You will choose a "Most Important Person" for the evening who will lead some of the dances, with our help. We will teach everyone dances, from stately pavans through lively branles to Tudor country dances.

So if you are looking for that little bit of extra spice for a celebration or special event, please contact us. We can consider any UK location.
