Michael FieldsMichael Fields was born in Hawaii. He began his musical journey playing folk, rock and jazz in California and Australia, until a romantic interest in older music brought him to England in 1974 to study lute and classic guitar. His career as a performer (mainly lute and classic guitar), director and teacher has since taken him back around the world several times, and has led to many rewarding and interesting collaborations along the way. He is the musical director of two choirs in Eastbourne (where he now lives), and of Finland's leading early music festival, Sastamala Gregoriana. He teaches at Westminster School and Eastbourne College and was a tutor for many years at Dartington Summer School and AIMS in Eastbourne.
