Martin Simpson, Nancy Kerr, Jim Moray, Bella Hardy, John Smith, Hannah James, Rachel Newton and early music specialist Emily Askew will live and work together for a week in March 2014 to come up with new music, using material and history, stories, myths, characters and legends relating to the 16th century period and drawing inspiration from the role that Hatfield House
Curtis Eller’s American Circus
played in the Queen’s life. They will premiere the results at The Old Palace at Hatfield House on 20th March and a concert at Cecil Sharp House, London on 22nd March.
