Events and News
Come and enjoy an evening of music from the court of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I with a variety of instruments and songs performed by Matthew Spring and Steph Holland.
We will be performing in the undercroft at Moyse’s Hall Museum in Bury St Edmunds, which is a fantastic venue and the perfect setting for this period of history.
I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work with Matthew Spring, who was my tutor at Bath Spa University, and who introduced me to the world of Early Music. He is an inspirational musician, teacher and performer and I am very grateful to him for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come to Suffolk.

Matthew read music and history at Keele University and at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he completed his D.Phil on the Lute, and went on to study lute at the Royal College of Music. Matthew was Reader in Music at Bath Spa University and is now a Visiting Research Fellow. Formally he taught at London Guildhall University, where he held a Leverhulme Research Fellowship and was a lecturer at Birmingham University. His awarding winning book The Lute in Britain was published by OUP in 2001, and his edition of the Balcarres Manuscript was published in 2010. He is presently working on a two-volume anthology of English Lute Music for Musica Britannica. He performs with a number of Early Music ensembles and has made a large number of recordings. Matthew’s areas of interest include lute music, the music of Bath and British provincial music.
