August 24th, 2008 Bedlam Bards @ MN Renfest

At the Renfiar we hit the Bedlam Bards at the ‘Mead’ stand where they perform occasionally due to other scheduling conflicts. We used to hit them at Merlins Rest but, are now frequently seen at HalfTimeRec.

A bit of a unique group with at least two members showing up (full-time) members with others (plenty over the years). I have yet to see them play with less than 4 people. They play a Celtic-Renfolk type music very unique and fun to drink ale to with friends. Between every song everyone takes a drink (the band often does shots). I had talked with a former bedlam at Merlin’s and he said it was all for fun and the love of music, much like my love for photography (I believe that’s what I heard, I had quite a few guiness/harps/bass and combinations thierof (black&tan, etc) that evening).

Chris, Thanks for sharing these and the next one of Twig. I’m looking forward to seeing all these people when I make it to the Faire for closing weeekend. You’ve helped build the anticipation to an even higher level.
