Merry Mischief
Once upon a time there were two minstrels. One damsel fair of voice and full of spirit, and one dashing, strong (hey, odor isn't everything!) fellow who met through the fates and spun an acoustic act called "Merry Mischief"! (Which pretty much describes what we do....)

The Harper and the Minstrel

"Celtic Harps, Flutes, Recorders, Pennywhistle, Bowed Psaltery, Guitar and beautiful vocal harmonies will transport you to another place and time!"

The Harper and the Minstrel are the husband and wife team of Jay and Abby Michaels. They have been performing Celtic and Renaissance music together since 2002. Jay plays the both the nylon and wire-strung Celtic Harps, Guitar and he sings. Abby sings, plays Flutes, Recorders, Pennywhistles, Guitar, Harp and Bowed Psaltery. Together they perform traditional and popular music from the Celtic lands and beyond, Renaissance, Baroque and Folk tunes and original compositions. Their song list leans towards gentle aires and ballads with an occasional jig or reel.

Phoenix Swords

Myschyffe Managed

Myschyffe Managed is a New Hampshire-based a capella group specializing in medieval and renaissance madrigals. This motley crew was formed by a small herd of "Ren Rats" with a tenuous grasp on reality who also love to sing. The members feel that a bit of authentic period music adds to the overall ambiance of the various renaissance faires gracing our locale, and our audiences seem to agree. Our material is drawn primarily from the madrigal masters of old from Italy, England, Spain, and France. Our goal is to recreate a small part of the musical past for the entertainment and appreciation of the public. We can, however, easily change from the serious music to the, shall we say, traditional songs of drunkenness and debauchery as sung by lords, wenches, and pirates the world over.

Buzzard Bay Buccaneers

Avast! We be the Buzzards Bay Buccaneers and mind ye, we be no ordinary pirates. Our treasure is the tunes we've plundered from the sandy shores of Morocco to the rocky coast of Erin's green isle. Unlike other buccaneers, we don't guard our treasure with a blunderbuss ...we freely share it for all to enjoy! So come listen, sing along, or dance...'tis more fun than fighting the Spanish Armada!

Granny Gruesome
Granny Gruesome doesn't know she is a zombie, poor thing, and wonders why her ears and junk keep falling off. The stories she tells and sings are funny rather than scary... but... WARNING ...they have a definite ewwwww factor.

The Graces

The Graces are a bawdy renaissance themed wench group. Their high energy performances at King Richard's Faire in 2007, Winslowshire Renaissance Faire in 2009, and various other venues have brought amusement to both men and women alike. Come join us for a merry, and most importantly a BAWDY good time, beautiful women, music, and fun! What more could you want?

Ki-Ra Luna

The Pillage Idiots

Makers of Mirth and Mayhem... we may be Idiots... but we're professional!

The Primrose Pirates

The Primrose, an actual ship that set sail from England for the colonies in 1635 never arrived, and we are the pirates who acquired it. The Primrose Pirates are a New England based pirate crew that enjoy mixing fun and facts in our ancient firearms show, The History of Black Powder. We will use actual working weapons, from our ancient hand cannons, to firearms used in the Civil War era. Our crew of cutthroats also demonstrate historical weapons that were used not only to cut throats, but to sail the ship. In an attempt to find more crew we audition prospective members in Pummel-a-Pirate, so that children can test their skills against one of our crew members.

Rufus the Mud Beggar

For over ten years, whether by himself, or as part of "The Great Unwashed", Rufus has been entertaining faire patrons throughout New England and even Canada. Rufus will be wandering about the shire all day; throw some money in his bowl and he'll play you a song. (Of course, if you don't give him any money, he'll probably play anyway. He's not proud). Or, give him a hug for luck...it brings him luck anyways!

The Corr Thieves
We sing, we dance, we drink, we laugh, we cry and more often than not we rob you blind! Okay, actually we are an action packed comedic extravaganza! Or maybe just a comedic act with tons and tons of action! How about a comedic act with some awesome action? WAIT! I got it! How about this: High Flying Fantasy Comedic Action!
