“Ian’s instrumental virtuosity can’t be faulted, masterful on anything he turns his frets to.” ~ English Dance & Song magazine

Ian can offer the complete wedding package, with mediaeval, Tudor / renaissance and baroque music for the pre-ceremony gathering, the ceremony itself, and for the wedding breakfast. With lutes, cittern, renaissance guitar and gittern, Ian plays all the most important plucked instruments of the period.

Every event is different and fees can be arranged for less or more playing time. And if you’re looking for unusual wedding entertainment for all the family, Ian can also offer a staged performance for guests, including Tudor and renaissance songs. He can even teach you some renaissance dances!
