The Mediaeval Baebes are a group of eight female musicians (although there have been as many as twelve) who perform various instruments, sing and dance, backed by various musicians. Founder members include Katherine Blake, Rachel Van Asch and Marie Findley.

They perform a funkier version of medieval music to their own arrangements and compositions.

Their first album, Salva Nos (1997), shot straight to No 2 in the classical charts, a silver disc. Subsequent albums include Worlds Blysse (which went straight to No 1), Undrentide," (co-produced by John Cale) The Rose," and the holiday-themed album Mistletoe & Wine."

Their latest album Mirabilis (2005), was launched at a concert and party in London, August 2005.
