The Squandering Minstrels are Belinda Salvidge, Jon Catalona and Scott Donaldson and we play music from the British Isles dating back 200 years, consisting of but not limited to hornpipes, jigs, reels, ballads and strathspeys (specific styles of the era) and we incorporate guitar, violin, viola, balrong and mandolin to recreate the proper feel of these beloved songs. We have been playing together for 25 years and this is a labor of love for us. Belinda hails from England and was trained at the Royal Academy of Music, she is a music teacher and actively plays in various musical conglomerations and Jon and Scott are Bay Area musicians who are currently playing in other bands as well. This music is our passion and we look forward to playing for you!
