Circulus are a psychedelic/progressive folk band from South London, England, founded by guitarist and singer Michael Tyack.
The band uses a mix of modern and medieval instruments, such as the lute, cittern, crumhorn and rauschpfeife, along with the Moog synthesizer, bass and electric guitars.
Circulus were featured in a two-page spread of an NME issue in 2005, also appearing that year in a Sveriges Television music documentary called This Is Our Music in 2005. They were interviewed on BBC2's The Culture Show on 3 February 2007, as part of an item on the 'new folk'.
Mojo magazine chose Circulus to cover Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds for their 40th anniversary Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band tribute album, Sgt. Pepper... With a Little Help from His Friends, given away with their March 2007 issue.
The band performed on the 'Meltdown on the Thames' stage, at Meltdown Festival on 17 June 2007, one week later playing on the Park Stage at Glastonbury Festival. They performed at Green Man Festival in 2006 and 2017.
In 2013, they provivded an original music soundtrack for the short film Eilmer The Flying Monk, which is based on the story of Eilmer of Malmesbury. In 2014 their music was used in the soundtrack of the documentary The Truth Behind the Dash For Gas.
