Applying to renfaires?

topic posted Fri, September 16, 2005 - 11:19 AM by  Melissa the ...
Greetings minstrels. I just joined this tribe, although I've been a wandering minstrel for my day job for a while now.

You can hear me play my hurdy gurdy and other instruments in the sound samples on my website:
www.melissatheloud.com

I usually busk in places like NYC, but I'm thinking that it would be fun to play at a renfaire. The approaching cold weather in particular is making me think that a warm-weather renfaire would be a great place to spend part of the winter.

Any thoughts on which renfaires I should apply to, and how to apply? I've found a lot on the web, like through
www.faires.com
but I don't know which are best to work for, or what they seek in an application.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
