Banquo Folk Ensemble - Now is Yule Comen
Banquo Folk Ensemble celebrates the Yule season with music spanning 800 years, performed with voice and a vast array of acoustic instruments.
Banquo members are Amy Reiswig, Bill Jamieson, Eric Reiswig and Lael Whitehead, with guest soprano, Gwendolyn Jamieson, on harp, hurdy-gurdy and voice.
Banquo Folk Ensemble have been performing in and around Victoria, BC since 1998. Their music is from the written and oral traditions covering more than eight centuries, performed with voice and a collection of instruments that includes recorders, hurdy gurdies, harp, citterns, shawms, bagpipes, a battery of percussion instruments and more.
Through the development of our their own arrangements and interpretations of existing materials, Banquo attempts to bridge the gap between art music and the folk tradition, always bearing in mind the goal of minstrels throughout the centuries: to please and entertain their audiences.
