Bedlam Bards
The Bedlam Bards are an accoustic band with a rock attitude. We play hard-driving Celtic and Filk music at renaissance festivals, pubs, and conventions. Our weapons of choice include fiddle, guitar, mandola, kazoo, pennywhistle, bones, bodhran, and two strong, manly voices.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We joined up at the Hawkwood Fantasy Faire and have been jamming together ever since.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We live to play live. One special moment for us occurred when seven scantily-clad women tied themselves to a tree in front of our stage . . .
Your musical influences
Our musical influences include many Celtic bands, especially those on the Renfaire circuit: the Minstrels of Mayhem, Celtic Stone, Cantiga.
What equipment do you use?
The Bedlam Bards use pawn shop and flea market equipment exclusively.
Anything else?
We sing about Firefly, Serenity, pirate ships, lost love, outlaws, and of course, bondage/discipline.
