Synchronicity and The Chalice Well
Way back in the early days of the Brobdingnagian Bards, when we were still trying to figure out if we were gonna keep the long band name, we were also trying to find a cool logo.

The Year of the Kilt
In 1999, we recorded and released our first CD, Marked By Great Size. We didn't have the money or a fanbase to really mass-produce the album. So instead Andrew burned the CDs at his home and printed paper CD labels of each CD. I then photocopied the black and white cover at Kinkos and assembled the cases.

Irish Pubs, Sci Fi Conventions, and Recording Studio News
I can't believe how busy we've been this year. And this month, we may not be gigging extensively, but we've had our faire share.

North Georgia Celtic Festival
What an awesome trip! We're still recovering from the sixteen hour drive to and from Gainesville, Georgia where the North Georgia Celtic Festival was held last weekend.

Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales
I just got done listening to the first three mixes from Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales, our forthcoming CD. They sound fantastic. All the research that Andrew's put into learning how to record and make great CD mixes is really paying off!

Cat Songs Pressing Down with Recent News
Aya! Seems now New York is jumping on the kitty bandwagon with a new article in CNN New York cafe caters to kitties. Seems MeowMix opened a new cafe that serves cats and humans.

CAT SONGS - New Cat CD Nearly Written
My cat songs are piling up. I already have well over the initial nine cat songs I had thought about using. Soon, I'm gonna have to filter through the songs and find the absolute best. Esp since I haven't even begun recording anything for my CD of cat songs for Irish music fans.

Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales (The Bard's Tales News)
Okay, not quite that big, but as we were contemplating the title, Fairy Tales from Brobdingnag, we hit a snare. "Brobdingnag" is a place in Jonathan Swift's novel, Gulliver's Travels. "Brobdingnagian" is an adjective in the dictionary meaning "big." By calling the CD Fairy Tales from Brobdingnag, we're effectively saying the CD is filled with fairy tales from this mystical land which is not the case.

Fairy Tales CD Update
Everyone has seemed quite interested in our CD progress so I thought I would provide an update. It now looks very promising that we will have it by DragonCon. No guarantees but very promising. Our current list of songs that we are trying to record is 23.

And the Eighth Album is Called... Fairy Tales from Brobdingnag
Whoa! The studio is going great. I drove back to Andrew's home studio last night to lay a final few tracks. Right now, we have recorded over twenty songs for this CD. I doubt they'll all fit on the CD, so this gives us room to pick the best performances for the final project.

Kitty Cat (parody of Mari Mac)
Don't remember if I posted this one already. I started playing with this in my head after I sent you the joking list of songs last night for your new "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" album! I know it's pretty strange! Comes from 27 years of being an alcohol and drug counselor.

Celtic MP3s IRISH Songs & Lyrics
Welcome to Irish Songs & Lyrics presented by the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine. The Brittish Isles are full of great music. I fell in love with Irish songs and Scottish songs by listening to bands like The Dubliners, The Corries, The Wolfe Tones, The Clancy Brothers, Ewan MacColl, and the Irish Rovers. These artists inspired me to compile this list of Celtic and Irish Songs & Lyrics with streaming MP3s free, so you can listen and learn the way I do, by ear.
