The Original Celtic Renaissance duo from Austin, TX! Called Masters of Traditional Folk by The Austin Chronicle, Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee join the autoharp, r
We are the Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brAHb'ding-näg-EE-en). We perform a unique style of Celtic folk music that we like to call "a Renaissance in Celtic music" or "The Original Celtic Renaissance. Ask our fans though, and they'll tell you our music is just plain "fun!" With six studio albums completed in just five years, combined with ten other compilations, singles and EPs, we've been called one of the most-productive Celtic groups around. But we just love playing the music.

Lyrics
In days that have long since passed, There lived a beautiful mahogany lass. An unmarried and virtuous princess, alas, She was brave, strong and bold. Tra la di di hidey ho Di hidey hey, di hidey ho Tra la di di hidey ho Happily ever after. One morning while riding no guard around, Armed with sword should trouble abound, She heard the most horrible sound, And her nose burned of sulfur. The sky it darkened, gave her horse a fright. A dragon swooped as black as night, Grabbed the princess then out of sight. Her horse ran frightened home. The king cried, "All knights be sworn! Kill the dragon with your swords. Return me daughter for this reward, That you may marry her." The bravest knight in all the realm, Young, handsome and vain as well Declared the maid his holy grail And rode off to rescue her. The knight he climbed up rugged heights Snagged a run in his pristine tights At cavern's shaft, he saw no lights And heard no sound inside. The knight called the dragon out. But only a lady's voice came back. "I killed the dragon!," the lady shout. And stepped into the sun. The princess dressed in scraps of cloth, Her mahogany hair was all burned off. A muddy face, the vain knight scoffed, "Can you clean be for we go?" The princess still in clothes undone, Told the knight, "I work alone." The knight rode lone into the setting sun. And the princess was happy thereafter.
