Nottingham, a location where our Folk Band could play for your wedding or eventTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Nottingham, has been said:- " Nottingham began in the 6th century as a small Saxon settlement called Snotta ing ham. The Saxon word ham meant village. The word ing meant 'belonging to' and Snotta was a man. So it was the village owned by Snotta. It was inevitable that sooner of later Nottingham would grow into a town as it is the first point where the Trent can be forded but the river is also navigable this far inland. In the late 9th century the Danes conquered North East and Eastern England. " We had the music of the bagpipe every day at Armadale, Dunvegan and Col. Dr Johnson appeared fond of it, and used often to stand for some time with his ear close to the great drone. ~James Boswell CLICK HERE [Folk Bands in Nottingham for your wedding] [About Folk Bands] [Ensembles in Nottingham wedding music repertoire] [About Nottingham] [About music in Nottingham] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] |
