Medieaval Baebes - concert in Tewkesbury Abbey

"Established as one of the most successful female-led, early music and folk ensembles in Europe; lush, ethereal harmonies will transport the listener through a myriad of ancient and forgotten languages."

Join us at stunning Tewkesbury Abbey to hear the fantastic Medieaval Baebes in concert.
Tues 14th December 2026 - 6.30pm
Meet at 6.30pm by the main door - go through the metal double-gates on the pavement opposite the Bell pub and along the short path up to the Abbey. We'll wait outside with everyone else to see their typically impressive procession shortly before 7pm into the abbey.

"Each album features traditional medieval songs and poetry set to music, mostly arranged by Blake specifically for the ensemble, alongside varying numbers of original compositions. They sing in a variety of languages, including Latin, Middle English, French, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Scottish English, German, Manx Gaelic, Spanish, Welsh, Bavarian, Provençal, Irish, modern English and Cornish. Their vocals are backed by medieval instruments, including the recorder and cittern, played by the singers or fellow musicians.
The Bæbes' musical pieces run the gamut from extremely traditional, such as their version of the "Coventry Carol" on Salva Nos, to songs that feel traditional but are much more modern...
... The lineup often rotates from album to album, and ranges from six to twelve members. ... 500,000 records worldwide, their most successful being Worldes Blysse with 250,000 copies purchased."
