Hello folks, I haven't been around for some time, but a situation has arisen and I was compelled to come down the pub to ask the experts about it.

I anticipate your usual (unusual?) enthusiasm and look forward to reaping the benefits of your collective extensive knowledge.

I have been asked to help with the recording of a soundrack for an attraction at a theme park. The music must be representative of the era in which King Arthur is meant to have reigned.

I am aware that opinions differ on this subject, but all comments will be considered valuable.

I need to know specifically about what instruments were used and what modern instruments might act as substitutes.

I would also appreciate information about any contemporary "Arthurian" performers you may be aware of, whether intentionally "Arthurian" or simply expert in the musical style of the era (I'm guessing 5th to 8th century AD)

Anything else relevant that you might have to offer will be recieved gratefully.

Cheers darlings, I know youwon't let me down.
