Mediaeval Baebes
Autumn Newsletter
We returned to London from the USA to find the trees almost naked, the remaining leaves amber, red and orange, symbiotic of the artwork for our forth-coming album Illumination. The official release worldwide will be early next year when the leaves are bursting forth again but you can still purchase it from our website until then.

For many of us the European leg of the tour is a long distant memory but it held much excitement. There was a rainy day in Amsterdam and plenty of great shows. A big thank you to all those involved and especially Toon, our long-suffering driver who managed to keep his good humour for the entire trip.
Our American tour started at the brilliant Maryland Renaissance Festival, where we wowed the ever expanding crowds with new songs from Illumination and ended with Dracula’s Ball in Philadelphia where, after our storming set, we joined Gothic Rock Super Star Gerard McMann on stage to sing backing vocals for his Mega Hit ‘Cry Little Sister’ from the film Lost Boys. There was not a cheek left unstained with teary black eyeliner by this momentous occasion.
After a well-earned rest we return to rehearsals this week to prepare for our forthcoming UK Cathedral tour. This promises to be our finest set of UK dates so far. We will be gracing some of the most awesome inspiring building in this country, so make sure you can join us at one or more for our spectacular Christmas programme.

We are releasing a single for the very first time in Mediaeval Baebes history. Miracle has been taken from Illumination and remixed by David Francolini. It is now available to pre-order from HMV with free P&P to the UK. Included with the single are two fantastic new tracks, The Shepherd’s Song and Invocation, both amazing and unique tracks that we are fiercely proud of.

It will also be available at our December shows, iTunes and Amazon. There is an accompanying video, directed by Annetta Laufer which you will shortly be able to view online and at various music channels, which highlights the Mediaeval Baebes in their home city of London.
Thank you to all those who pre-ordered Illumination and helped make this album happen, we are really enjoying reading your feedback on our Forum and Guestbook.
As the Mediaeval Baebes move towards the end of the year our hearts our filled with anticipation of what the next months will bring! We may have lessened in numbers over the years but we have grown in strength and we are ready for what this next stage will bring us.
Much love
The Baebes
