Brobdingnagian Bards - Scottish & Irish Songs at Renaissance Faires - "If you enjoy The Dubliners, The Wolfe Tones, Gaelic Storm, or The Irish Rovers's style of Celtic music, you'll love this..."
The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brAHb'ding-näg-EE-en ) are The Original Celtic Renaissance music group from Austin, Texas offering free Celtic mp3 downloads. They perform a unique style of music combining Scottish and Irish folk songs with music inspired by the Lord of the Rings, performed on non-traditional instruments--autoharp, recorder, and mandolin.
In just five years, they've completed six studio albums and performed coast-to-coast. Ask their fans, and they'll tell you The Bards are just plain "fun!" Which makes sense since, after all, they just love the music.

Bard Marc Gunn's Complete List of Websites
Hello. My name is Bard Marc Gunn, and I'm a web designer-aholic. I've made too many websites in my day. And below, I'm gonna try and list all of them. I'm sure I'll forget something. So bare with me. Indented items are sorta subsets of the main one.

Marc Gunn: Texas Celtic Folk & Filk Music
I
started my personal homepage a few years ago, but it wasn't until a few
months ago that I finally started doing something useful with it.
Marc
Gunn's Photography and Pictures
In
Christmas 2002, my dad bought me a digital Camera. I used to take pictures
a long time ago, but the Topcon camera I inherited from Granddad was a
bit too much work for me to actually take pictures. Plus, I didn't have
the money to develop them. Now I have a digital camera, and it has opened
the world for me. I've impressed my family and friends with my creative
and stimulating photographs. So the next step is offering some for sale.
Marc
Gunn's Poetry & Songs, Sappy Love & Laments
I've
never seen myself as much of a poet. But over the past few months, I've
written a lot of poetry, mostly about love lost, but you'll also find
the lyrics to several of my filks.
Brobdingnagian Bards
Brobdingnagian
Bards: Renaissance in Celtic Music from Austin, Texas
In
1999, I started performing with the Brobdingnagian Bards. Our fan base
and friends have grown at a nearly exponential rate. And we've become
one of the most-popular Celtic bands online having earned over 2.5 million
downloads of our music. Visit The Bards website to find out where I will
be performing next.
A Bard's Celtic Lyric Directory
In 2000, I started compiling all of the Celtic and Folk lyrics that the Brobdingnagian Bards performed. Since I usually learn songs by listening as opposed to using sheet music, I attached every song with a musical clip. And voila, the A Bard's Celtic Lyric Directory was born.The Bard's Tales
I also maintain several blogs (online journals). The Bard's Tales is one such blog I maintain for the Brobdingnagian Bards.Adventures of the Brobdingnagian Bards Cartoon
In 1999, someone at the Daily Texan published a cartoon mocking our daily performance on the South Mall. Now we have our very own cartoon telling the Renaissance tales and adventures of the Brobdingnagian Bards by fantasy artist Nikki O'Shea.
