Hank Cinq

Former Jethro Tull member, Dee Palmer has a new musical called "Hank Cinq". (While in the band, Dee was known as David. A sex change operation precipitated the name change.)

Hank Cinq - a.k.a. Henry Vth - is an account in words and music of medieval life at the time immediately before, during and after the celebrated and much vaunted English victory, the Battle of Agincourt.

There’s no glorification of war here, though, and certainly not in the way Shakespeare presented the same historical facts to his Elizabethan audiences; that his principal characters come out to play again is both convenient and appropriate!

It sounds interesting as I'm into all things medieval. And while I'm in Tullland, I'll note that the band will be swinging back to the States this fall. As of now, there's no gig in Wisconsin planned with the nearest appearance being in Chicago at the Civic Opera House on November 20th.
