Grinnigogs

The Grinnigogs play the funkiest fusion of Medieval, Celtic, Arabic and Andalucian music designed to get feet tapping and bodies dancing. The band features authentic medieval instruments including: Hurdy-Gurdy, Hammered Dulcimer, African Percussion, Violin, Bag-pipes and Shawms.

Vibrant, celebratory and passionate this music is wild, exciting and different. Archaic melodies combined with tribal instruments and a late twentieth century dance aesthetic makes this one of the most exciting and unusual bands performing in Europe today. The Grinnigogs provide an organically grown global dance groove from the dawn of time to celebrate the end of the millennium.

A truly up-lifting deeply spiritual experience. Expect to dance! In addition to the big band, The Grinnigogs can provide soloists and duo’s. They can work from a fixed spot or as strolling players. They can perform acoustically or with amplification

Medieval minstrels are available in any combination, from a wandering minstrel up to a seven piece band. Fantastic instrumentalists and singers deliver theatrical, wild and exciting medieval music! The Grinnigogs also offer Victorian, Jacobean and Tudor music.

The Grinnigogs have achieved National and International acclaim since they began as medieval entertainers in 1987, having appeared at many prestigious British Arts festivals. They have toured Japan, Eastern Europe, Belgium, Holland and Germany. They offer a wide variety of acts for all kinds of events, and are hugely popular for weddings, street performances, historical sites, corporate themed parties and complete banquet entertainment.
