I am so saddened by this.  My heart goes out to his family and all of us who so enjoyed his performances, whether solo or with an ensemble.

Please remember while we miss the Bard, Lady Paula will still need some assistance dealing with this financially.

Like so many of our performer & vendor friends on the Circuit, he has no medical insurance. RESCU has been contacted and the paperwork necessary there is in process, but that takes time. No work = no pay. 

Fundraising has begun. And if you'd like to contribute, this open group on Facebook has several people's posts about either sending money via paypal to a specific person, or people who are donating a portion of their sales etc. for a specific time period, and an address for Owain & Paula if you wish to send money directly.

A post from Master Owain and Lady Paula's dear friend Jamie, with details of memorial services scheduled:

****

Owain has left us.

With him when he passed was his beloved Lady Paula, his brother Norman, his sons and daughter in law. He was not in pain. He will be with us forever.
...
No funeral will happen. Instead, a pair of celebrations of his beautiful life and wondrous gifts will take place. One, this coming Saturday at the Michigan Faire - 7 PM in the large white pavilion next to the castle. If so moved, bring a dish to share and your beverage of choice. Two, at the Sherwood Forest Faire Celtic Festival in Texas, September 22-23, details to be announced. And maybe one more at my house in Louisiana in November.

Thank you, on behalf of Lady Paula and Owain, for all your stories and prayers and energy. It meant so much.

I have this notion that Owain just decided his work was done here. I wonder where he is singing now? Whatever your belief, join me in thanking God, Goddess, Providence or your choice of deity or fate that this lovely, lovely man was with us for as long as we were meant to have the pleasure of his company. Thank you, Mr. Phyfe.
I can be one of those "bad things" that happen to bad people.

He will be missed greatly. He and his family will be kept in my thoughts and prayers.

What an amazing man, with amazing music. I wish I could shake his hand once more....

Does anyone know the best way to get a hold of his music?  I regret that I was never able to get any of his music when I saw him live.

Owain's albums are available through CDBaby from Nightwatch Recording - http://www.cdbaby.com/group/nightwatch

He's on the albums listed as - "Owain Phyfe", "Owain Phyfe with L'Ensemble Josquin", "Owain Phyfe & The New World Renaissance Band", and "The New World Renaissance Band".

The instrumentalists who play with him as "The New World Renaissance Band" are the group "Cantiga".

I do not know which albums by other musicians that Owain may have performed on.


Take Care,

There is also a cd of Wolgemut with Owain recorded live at Pennsic. We bought our copy at TRF; possibly it is available through Wolgemut's page.

Going to feel weird without him singing at fair.
His voice over near the wine tasting was one of most memorable things
Also him running around with a Redneck Wine Glass

There will be a Candlelight Processional for Owain on November 3rd at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival
