About
The Renaissance Rovers is a musical duo for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Lucy plays an old hognose psaltery and sings. Jason carries the melodies on a wooden recorder, and hand-makes the historically accurate renaissance peasant costumes they both wear, which is his other trade as a Melbourne costumier. Together they play music from medieval and renaissance Europe: Greensleeves, Scarborough Fair, Saltarello, Sonatina in G, Romanze. All of it works while roving, so they can drift through a market, a fair or an event space rather than needing a stage. No set-up required at all. Melbourne and Geelong based. Insured.
Watch
The show
Lucy and Jason arrive in renaissance peasant dress, hand made by Jason himself, who works as a costumier in Melbourne. Psaltery, recorder and voices carry a selection of tunes from medieval and renaissance Europe. The performance moves, rather than sitting in one spot, so the pair wander your event space and the music follows them around it.
