Bard David of Larchmont  The spine tingling melodies of classical composers wafts through the rehearsal halls as Bard David prepares for his performances. This extremely talented virtuoso has been delighting audiences for the past 20 years on keyboards, piano, organ, harpsichord, accordion and pipe organ. He is a graduate of Purchase University in piano performances and Blackmore's Night is proud to add him to our Minstrel Band.
 


 
 



 




 

  Gypsy Rose: Blackmore's Night is proud to announce the addition of Gypsy Rose to our group of Minstrels. Before joining the band, Gypsy Rose was traveling the countryside with a band of rogue fiddlers. When she first heard Blackmore's Night she immediately became enchanted with their mystic melodies and found herself unable to play anything but Ghost of a Rose! Though they tolerated this behavior for a time, the wild-hearted gypsies soon grew tired of the soothing, sweet melody and cast her off the vardo. Aimlessly wandering the valleys and hills, Gypsy Rose searched for the magical minstrels who had captured her bow. A chance meeting with Master Blackmore and Lady Candice led to the only true remedy for her problem: a strict daily regimen of Cartouche, Ariel, and very strong ale!       
 

 

  Earl Grey of Chimay - bass, mandolin, guitar.  Often enchanted with a musical spirit he can be found performing his music throughout medieval forests and cavernous terrains where they echo the melodic sounds resonating from the instruments played by Earl Grey of Chimay. Assimilating an alchemistic approach to a variety of instruments , he brings to Blackmore's Night his music, camaraderie, a plethora of potent ale, and an extraneous habit of being a bit verbose., yet a dash of humor emanates through the serious facade-but he is always passionate about his love for the music of Blackmore's Night.  




 



 



 

  The Minstrel Albert - It was among the ancient stones and whispering winds of the Jagsthausen Castle in Germany that Albert Dannenmann and Ritchie Blackmore met for the first time. Perhaps Destiny allowed the two minstrels to meet. Albert had been unlocking the secrets and protecting the truths of every renaissance instrument that has crossed his path during his musical lifetime, sometimes seeming much longer than the thirty years it had been.
Albert’s band, “Des Geyers” was performing at the castle that night in 1987. "Des Geyers” was already one of Europe’s premier Renaissance bands, an honor held for 23 years now.

Following the meeting Albert developed a close friendship and musical relationship with Candice and Ritchie. The first time he played with the band was December 14,

 1997, in Mainz. Since then he has had the pleasure of joining them in many concerts around the world as an opening act, special guest, and band member.
“It is such a great experience and such a good time to perform with my friends Blackmore’s Night, and I am so proud to be part of the talented minstrel band. Candice and Ritchie have been an ongoing source of inspiration over the years of our collaboration. We have such a wonderful platform to showcase the many moods and spirits of my treasured renaissance tunes,” says Albert.
Albert plays instruments from the recorder family, reed instruments, bagpipes, and the Hurdy Gurdy -- one of the earliest predecessors of the violin.
