Some highlights and pictures from Hostalric Medieval Fair and other news

 



Last weekend I performed in the Medieval Fair of Hostalric (Catalonia, Spain). My concert was organized by Drakonia events and though  the castle chamber was rather small it was really an enchanting  place and we had lots of fun along with a very warm and close audience. After the Sunday performance we ended up jamming by the fire! Lots of acoustic instruments in this almost unplugged set up quite different from our usual but equally enjoyable for us to play.


Above: photo by Sandra de Montserrat of Saturday performance. 

 

The line up was: 

Priscilla Hernandez (me): vocals, composition, hammered dulcimer, harp, piano, double ocarina, irish high and low whistle and recorder. 
Héctor Corcín: piano, koshi chimes, loops, windband
Jorge Lamata: Acoustic guitar
Svetlana Tovstukha: Cello
Armen  Vartanyan: Violin

And it was sooo fun! I look forward to repeat but also want to state we missed our sweet Biel Fiol in the ensemble, reuniting hopefully song to make some noise! 

Thanks also to Oristila for taking photographies of the event.

UPDATE: here´s a little video

And also a mention to Mireia Blasco for dancing for me Sunday and Marta Florenza (leather crafter and designer) for her assistance.

My gown Saturday was designed by Alassie with wings of Renae Taylor and chemise by Kelly Miller.My gown Sunday was designed by Linda Blankenship with a crows of Los Tesoros de La Ayalga. Thanks all of you.

And some impressions here!

It was way fun, I would love to repeat with Drakonia as organizers, they were really kind and friendly. Plus my favorite part was the jam by the fire.

It was a small but lovely venue. I had to do both sound technical engineer and playing at the same time.. not easy haha.. It was going to be just Priscilla and me at first.. but then Jorge said ok, I would like to play guitar for you too... and then Sveta said.. ok I can go that day and play the cello... and then she said.. and I know a violinist that wants to go too!!... so the technicals got a bit more complex but we managed to do it :D 

in the shadows...

Thank you. We are trying to close now a few other medieval fairs with the semi-acoustic format. Not that we are exactly medieval but I guess the fantasy celtic influenced music fits enough. Still we´ll have more news about that soon.
