Princes in the Tower
“We’re here to make you happy, we’re here to make you jive. We’re here to make you party like it’s 1595!” Comprising the three core members of psych/medieval/prog band, Circulus, this ‘Tudor power trio’ regularly bring a rowdy peak to many a London bash, as well as being featured on The Mighty Boosh. They promise surprise performances across the Port Eliot grounds, from the maze to our hidden groves… Intrigued? You should be.
Princes in the Tower comprises Michael Tyack on Cittern, lute and vocals; William Summers on Crumhorns, rauschpheiffe and flute; and Antony Elvin on percussion and vocals. This eccentric and always-entertaining trio has played at many cultural events in London and around the world.
Recent projects include working with performance artist Spartacus (Lali) Chetwynd in Milan and Miami; appearing (in their augmented line-up, as Circulus) at the British Museum in June 2009 to mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII’s ascension to the throne; and a yearlong collaboration with The House of Fairy Tales culminating in the sell-out 2,000-seater Barbican event, ‘A Twisted Christmas’ last December.
