MEDIAEVAL BAEBES

The Mediaeval Baebes have established a legendary reputation for themselves by reviving ancient text and song and turning historical fantasy into reality for the pleasure of a modern audience.
The band was formed in 1996 by Katharine Blake, the lead singer of the avant garde gothic rock band, Miranda Sex Garden, and quickly found success in 1997 with their debut album, Salva Nos, which was certified Silver within weeks of release and was Virgin Classics fastest selling debut album. The bands 1998 follow-up, Worldes Bylsse, blazed into the Classical Charts at No.1 to widespread, critical acclaim. July 05 saw them return with their fifth studio album, Mirabilis, which is already considered by some to be their finest work to date.

Recognised as the originators of a new breed of acts responsible for spicing up the classical world, the Mediaeval Baebes have always pushed the boundaries in terms of attitude and musical approach. A provocative collective of beautiful maidens, the Baebes comprises six young women vocalists, composers, instrumentalists and dancers - from all corners of the globe, who delight in their reputation for wantonness whilst singing songs from an age of innocence.
