Sweete Harmonie is the new name for our singing group, which was formed in 1998 for Rainham Village May Fair, and known as Ye Essex Baebes.  The ensemble has since developed into a group of highly proficient female singers and performers – both young and more mature – led by Musical Director Nikki Randell.

Nikki trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She has had a long and varied career as a professional singer/songwriter and singing teacher.

 

Sweete Harmonie have an authentic, but lively approach to early music, performing songs from 1300 to the early 1600s.   Some are sung “a capella”, using just vocal harmony, for example madrigals, motets and early part songs.   Some are accompanied by period instruments, such as rebec (violin), gittern (lute) and varied percussion. 

A performance by Sweete Harmonie will complement events at historic houses and gardens, weddings, banquets,  historical re-enactments, concerts and festivals.   During the past two years we have performed at the Stortford Music Festival,  Mediaeval Mayhem at Cressing Temple, Groombridge Place, Ingatestone Hall, Eastbury Manor, Sutton House, Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge,Hatfield Forest Woodfest, as well as at various fairs and festivals.  We  have entertained Christmas shoppers in Trafalgar Square and at Bluewater.

 

During the 2008 season our usual fee will be £55 for a half hour set.  A lower rate may be negotiated for longer bookings and charity events.

 

A  new CD  is currently in production.
