The group still lives in the DC area -- it's soprano/harpist Kathy Sobansky, tenor/guitar John Huff, singer/harper/bass Bob Esty (the sirharper of the above address) and a couple newer folks whose names escape me at present.

Kathy, her husband Ed, Bob and his wife Sue (also recorded as their own ensemble, "Voice of the Turtle") are the core of Clan Cambion, a large group/loose household that used to bridge SCA and Markland, but is now mostly SCA, and which is known for breaking into song at the drop of a hat ("Processions R Us"). The 25-person Thanksgiving dinners at Sobansky's home, Caer Bear, are one continuous echo of multipart harmony... By the way, "Turtle" played the Crownsville Renaissance Faire for years; don't know if they're doing that again this summer.
