What good luck you brought
us on Friday at Cogges Manor Farm! Not only your gentle yet lively music
and your fascinating display of early instruments, but some fine weather
too. The music seemed to fit the venue very well, and we’ve had lots of good
comments – some especially about your excellent costume.
I hope you had a
safe and swift journey home, and once again many thanks for coming to
entertain us.
With very best wishes from all at the Clive Project."

GCSE Renaissance Dance Music Workshop - Alleyne's High School, Stone |
| "The content of the Workshop was brilliant, and it was a
good introduction to the topic. Being able to experience the instruments
first hand was invaluable." Music Teacher Some quotes from
students:
"Thank you for giving us an enjoyable experience learning about the Pavan
and Galliard".
"I now know a lot more about the dances and their importance in society
during the period."
"I really enjoyed the dancing and found the instruments very interesting. It
has helped me so much with my GCSE Coursework."
"I thought the instruments that you brought in were fabulous and I
particularly liked the hurdy-gurdy because it is a difficult instrument to
picture without seeing it live. The dancing helped me to understand the
duple and triple metres of the Pavan and Galliard."

Medieval Workshops - St Mary's Guildhall, Coventry |
|
Thank you
"I would just like to say what a wonderful time myself, my partner and our
four children had on Monday 20th Aug at St Mary's Guildhall at the Medieval
music and Merry dance. We had a wonderful time with the arts and crafts
making 'Knights Helmets'. The staff were very helpful and enthusiastic, the
Music was great and the dancing fun, and it was lovely to see all the
different instruments, we have never had the opportunity to see these before
and would not know where to go to see them either. So thank you to who
ever organised the event we really had a great day, and the fact that this
was a free event was brilliant. It makes a refreshing change and is nice to
know that there are still Establishments that are interested
in acknowledging our own history in England. Well done and thank you to all
involved." Parent |

Part of a letter received from
Juanita Watson (BA (Hons). C.Ed., CT ABRSM, ALCM ) Director of Music, St.
Mary's Church, Hobs Moat, Solihull, after the Early Music Man performed at
the church on 7th February 2007. |
Dear Terry
Thank you so much for coming to St.
Mary's Church on Wednesday and presenting your programme to us. It was
greatly enjoyed by us all.
It was lovely to be shown the instruments and hear about them as well as
hear them played. Your two "new students" were most impressed with being
able to try out the crumhorn. Personally I don't think I had much success
with it but it was most exciting to try!
There were so many people on Sunday (at church) who were not able to come on
the Wednesday to your recital and who were sorry to have missed it, that I
think we may well be inviting you back at some time.
Again our thanks for giving us such an enjoyable evening,
With kind regards
Juanita Watson |
