BROBDINGNAGIAN BARDS
Scottish and Irish folk songs combined with the Lord of the Rings music and a wee bit o'Celtic fun. From 1999-2008, Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brob-din-nahg-EE-en) were The Original Celtic Renaissance music duo from Austin, Texas. Their unique brand of folk music on the autoharp, recorder, and mandolin made them one of the most-popular Celtic music groups online where they gave away thousands of free Celtic MP3 downloads.
The Brobdingnagian Bards performed coast-to-coast, and in a given month would be at a Lord of the Rings Oscar Party, a Celtic festival, or a Science Fiction Convention. However, they were an absolute favorite at Renaissance Faires where they added high-energy and wit to made every show a memorable experience.
