Renaissance Faire entertainer (8)
I believe the answer is:
minstrel
'renaissance faire entertainer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for minstrel that I've seen before include "Medieval singer" , "Old travelling musician - a boy in Irish song" , "Old song 'The ... boy to the wars has gone'" , "Balladeer" , "Troubador" .)
