Authentic Medieval Music & Dance

Pøbel is a professional medieval party band and live act, bringing vibrant medieval music, dance and storytelling to modern audiences. Dressed in historically accurate costumes from around 1470 and performing on authentic instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, shawms, lute, vielle and medieval drums, Pøbel creates a powerful and immersive medieval atmosphere.

The band combines high-energy concert performance with audience interaction and medieval dance instruction. Their music is rhythmic, danceable and ideal both as a festive centerpiece and as atmospheric background music.

Pøbel performs at medieval markets, festivals, museums, live venues, private events and historical settings across Scandinavia and Europe.

The four core members are:

• Thor Ahlgren – bagpipes, lafta, recorders & vocals
  Lasse Væver Jacobsen – medieval fiddles & vocals
  Mads Kjøller Henningsen – hurdy-gurdies, whistles, shawms, bagpipes & vocals
