Artist description With kettledrums and strings, this treasure of an instrumental band kicks fresh life back into medieval classics. And with decided self-assurance render extracts from Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana' into quintet form. On top of this they deliver original compositions - such as 'Leg of Mutton Pond' - with a driving, rustic energy quite entirely their own.
