as a trio. Anita and Martin Felton and Anne Gray are all part of the former
four part ensemble and since 1984 have performed at concerts, workshops,
festivals, receptions, historic events, weddings, civic occasions, banquets and
many diverse functions far and wide. Performances have been broadcast on radio
and television. The repertoire includes music from all over renaissance
