[EVENT] Bards Day Concert 2015, September 2nd

[Linawillow]

A day to remember the bards of old and the music they inspired. Welcome to the annual Bards Day Concert at the Ivy Bush Inn!

A day to remember the writers of the tales, poems and songs we treasure today. A concert with a selection of tunes related to one of the finest writers we have seen, master Ronald Dwale.

Date: Wednesday September 2nd
Time: 7:30PM UK (2:30PM servertime)
Place: Ivy Bush Inn, Hobbiton

The Brandy Badgers will perform a selection of songs based on the works of master Dwale. Afterwards, the stage will be open for performers with suitable tunes for the occasion. All are welcome to come to attend the concert: hobbits, dwarves, elves and men.

OOC details:

J.R.R. Tolkien passed away September 2nd 1973. As we have for the last years on the date, we’ll pay homage to him with a concert in the Ivy Bush, playing tunes inspired by Tolkien’s works (from the movies or adapted from his writings and poems). The concert is performed by The Brandy Badgers, the in-house music collective in the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom.

Given the concert theme and the date, this is not a strict roleplaying event, so players of all sizes and shapes are welcome. However, we will stay in-character: Instead of speaking about Tolkien, the musicians will play songs inspired by Ronald Dwale, Tolkien’s in-game alter ego.

Afterwards, the stage is open for anyone who would like to play a tune suitable for such an event.

Although there would be many lore reasons to have the concert in the Bird and Baby, the inn is somewhat unsuitable for concerts. Hence, the Ivy Bush.

Welcome to the Ivy Bush, Wednesday September 2nd!

Two and a half week to go! Remember, if you have a song yourself that is suitable for the occasion, the stage will be open after the main show.

This year's concert will be the fourth one, after the start back in 2012. Here is a video from the one in 2013.
