*Music From Strangers' Hall*
A variety of medieval and renaissance music played by the Minstrels Gallery full band. The idea behind this recording was to recreate music from past centuries and record it in a historically correct environment, the Merchant House Strangers' Hall in Norwich, with its Tudor Great Hall and Medieval undercroft.

	*A Medieval Christmas*
	A medieval winter was a cold, dark time and music played an important part in the the winter festive celebrations. When the Christian church "hijacked" the pagan winter festivities it brought into being a whole range of new music - some reflective and some out rightly joyous.
	"It will brighten every festive season." - Alison Weir author of Henry VIII and Life of Elizabeth I
