The Goliards are a troupe of wandering musicians performing the folk music of Europe and beyond. Taking their material from many different traditions including that of England, France, Spain, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, they also nod in the direction of the wider world for inspiration. They also include storytelling and puppetry at the cornerstone of their performances but are as likely to be seen playing simply, the music. All the artists are extremely experienced in both performing and communicating their art not only in England, but at festivals and gatherings all over Europe.
