Welcome to my web site.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Terry Carter, and I perform Medieval and Tudor Music and Dance.

 Amongst the instruments I play are the Hurdy Gurdy , Bass Viol, Pipe and TaborRauschpfeife, Medieval Violin, Psaltery, Crumhorn and Rebec.

Rauschpfeife Tenor Rebec Hurdy Gurdy

The originals of several  of these instruments were found on King Henry VIII’s ship "The Mary Rose".

I also teach  Tudor Dances, including the Pavan, Galliard, various Bransles, Almain, Morris and some Playford.

I am available for Concerts, Festivals, Corporate Events, Medieval Markets, Festivals, Historical Events, Music Clubs, Re-enactments, Weddings, Parties, Arts Societies, Talks, Demonstrations, Banquets, Conferences and Performances.

Liven up your Medieval Banquet or your party with some lively Medieval  music played on unusual authentic instruments. Have even more fun by learning to dance some dances of the time.
 

In the past few years I have given over 300 workshops to schools in the West Midlands, as well as talks and demonstrations to societies and  organisations in this country and abroad. I have also performed in several National Trust properties including Little Moreton Hall, Coughton Court, Baddesley Clinton, Greyfriars Worcester and Charlecote Park.

Ford Green Hall in Stoke on Trent, Stafford High House, Coventry Guildhall, Cowdray House and The National Centre For Early Music in York are other venues in which I have performed.

This Christmas I am looking forward to performing at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.

 I  welcome enquiries from schools, societies and organisations in the Midlands.

Contact me with your requirements - I am very adaptable and will try to fulfil your wishes.

  Enquiries from Festivals, Medieval Markets, WIs, Townswomen's Guilds, Rotary Clubs, Companies, Round Table and Historical Societies particularly welcome.
