Here's to your good health. That's the title of a fun Renaissance festival drinking song, "Slainte Mhaith". We're singing it for you on our next album ANOTHER FAIRE TO REMEMBER.   Make a pledge to support it on Kickstarter at http://thebards.net/kickstarter Thanks! #renaissancefestivalmusic #renaissancefestival

We may be funny at times, but not all of our music is. Take for instance these not funny at all traditional Celtic songs you might hear at Renaissance festival. Its all on our Kickstarter. Make a pledge to support it. http://thebards.net/kickstarter Slainte!

Another Faire to Remember is our 10th full-length, studio album. We are now funding the album on Kickstarter. Click here to make a pledge.

In 2001, we released our fourth album. A Faire to Remember was a tribute to our love of Renaissance festivals. It featured our pick of the Top 10 most-popular Renaissance festivals that we had seen in the two years since we started playing music. Then it had some other found favorites like "Do Virgins Taste Better Medley", "Irish Ballad", "A Fairy Story", Monty Python's "Always Looking on the Bright Side of Life", plus our hit song, "If I Had a Million Ducats.".

The album was a smashing success. A years after it's release, my step-mom was at a party talking with someone. She mentioned me and said I played with the Brobdingnagian Bards. They person responded, "Brobdingnagian Bards?! They're legendary!"

I don't know about that. But the album was a big part of our success. It includes a bunch of our early-on, most-popular songs.

Another Faire to Remember is a continuation of that triumphant album. We're recording it 23 years after that hit album. But we're not just making a B-side. Instead, we're showing our growth as musicians and as songwriters.

You will hear several traditional songs on the album, but you'll also hear our songwriting. We are actively making new music for the Renaissance festival community.

That's what this Another Faire to Remember is ultimately about. It's about sharing new songs that are inspired by our love Ren Faires. This album is for Rennies. 

You will love the music. But it's not just about loving the music. It's about learning the songs and singing along. That's why many supporters of the Kickstarter will get a songbook to go with the album featuring lyrics and chords for all of the songs played on the CD.

Speaking of CDs...

[You have Cdeeeees]

The goal of our Kickstarter is to raise funds to print physical copies of CDs and our Album Pins. 

Will you help in that endeavor?

This new album is a continuation of our first hit Faire album, A Faire to Remember. That album featured our pick of the Top 10 Renaissance festival songs, plus some of our found favorites and songs we've written.

Another Faire to Remember shares a few new Ren Faire favorite songs. We also share more original songs. There are drinking songs, and anti-drinking songs. There are sing and shout alongs. There's a song inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. There's one inspired by Standing Stones at Sherwood Forest Faire. The album is packed with 15 tracks of fun Brobdingnagian Bards music.

You can start by following the campaign on Kickstarter.

Make a pledge to help us fund CDs and Album Pins for you!
