Edinburgh Renaissance Band returns with its ever-popular Viol Rackett Show, our best-loved programme of music, song and dance from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The 13 strong troupe of musicians are joined by the authentically costumed Edinburgh Early Dancers and Shropshire based Polyhymnia. The musicians show off a large range of period instruments, including shawms, cornetti, sackbuts, nakers, crumhorms, viols, rebecs, fiddles, recorders, gemshorns, bells, bagpipes, racketts and a serpent. The show is fronted by musical director Murray Campbell, whose lively presentation provides a show that is a truly joyous experience. www.edinburghrenaissanceband.com
