The Naughty Minstrels are a Renaissance-period musical ensemble providing songs, improvisation and interaction at historically-themed market faires. Appearing as wandering minstrels or as historical Poets and Playwrights, we play dozens of period and original songs and bring music to every corner of the village, from stages and streets to shady bowers, ale stands, wine stands and craft booths, and have performed at numerous events over the past several years.
