As far as I know most English Civil War reenactment regiments had their singers. Devereux's singer was Dave Laurent. He had a great voice and an excellent repertoire. He passed away 5 years ago but he is remembered fondly. This image is from when he worked at Avebury manor and it is a postcard. He is in the centre. Avebury Manor was a short-lived 16th century theme park that existed in the 80s. There was a campaign against it which saw a tv programme on it that resulted in its closure. We visited and watched the play. the wiki says
it was bought in 1988 by property developer Ken King, who caused local controversy by making changes without planning permission and opening an "Elizabethan experience" visitor attraction which included a faux torture chamber in an old storeroom.[18] After King's bankruptcy the house was bought in 1991 by the National Trust.[17]
