Repertoire
A performance by Piepowder usually involves an hour or more of vocal and instrumental performance, but can be tailored to the needs of your individual event - large or small.
Specialising in period interaction with audience members and event attendees, Piepowder aim to evoke a flavour of days gone by with authentic repertoire and good old-fashioned etiquette and manners.
New songs and tunes are constantly being added to the repertoire, but the list below gives a taste of a Piepowder performance.
