Please put something clear in the "subject" line or the Spam filters will delete it! 2. If you're school age, check that your teachers or parents know you're contacting me, please. 3. Please request a message receipt: we get up to 1,000 spam messages a day and sometimes the filters delete the wrong ones - we can't check them all.

"Pierrot": band playing French & English music.	Tabulae.Org: I often get asked "Can you do Vikings/Romans/Greeks/World War II?" I don't do these periods - there's enough stuff in the house with what I do already! We've now been invited to join Tabulae Ltd., the accreditation register of interpreters. This is good for us, and also means I can recommend colleagues who do other periods with confidence. To belong, members have been vetted in various ways, provided references, checked for quality, have CRB and insurance. So if I can't offer what you need, or just for interest anyway, take a look at the Tabulae website.

My yellow & red bagpipes button will get you round the site. Every page on this site should have a cool blue bagpipes button home

at the bottom, and often the top too, to return you to the home page.
