Page "Heather Dale" Paragraph 1

Born and based in Toronto, she began her career by performing at Society for Creative Anachronism historical re-creation events ; she has been a medieval-era re-creator since 1993 and is known by the name ' Mistress Marian of Heatherdale ' within the group.

She was elevated to the Order of the Laurel, the Society's highest award for achievement in the arts, in 2001.

Her CD Call The Names is a compilation album of her oldest songs ( originally released on cassette between 1995 and 1998 ), all of which present an idealized view of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, within the SCA context.

Heather released another historical album in November 2002: This Endris Night, with twelve reworkings of pre-1700AD Christmas carols.
