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.

Story behind the song
LOTR has a very dark feeling to the story. Well I wanted a song that was light-hearted and interactive with the audience for Memories of Middle Earth. So I turned to the first few pages of Fellowship of the Ring. There, Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins celebrate Bilbo's eleventy-first and Frodo's thirty-third birthday. During this grand celebration of 144 guests (one gross), Bilbo gives a speech, addressing his family and friends before disappearing from The Shire in a grand, unforgettable manner.
Lyrics
I'd like to thank you all my friends for coming here today It's a testament to our friendship and I'd really love to stay But now at last the time is near, the sun is fadin low. I hope to see you soon again, but now it's time to go. Now it's time to go, [clap] Now it's time to go, [clap,clap] I hope to see you soon my friends, but now it's time to go! [clap] Dear Bagginses n'Boffins, Grubbs n'Chubbs, Burrowses and Tooks, Bracegirdles, Bolgers, Goodbodies, Hornblowers, Brockhouses n'Goodfoots [Goodfeet] And a humble thanks to those I missed, my intent is not to do so. For your friendship each is a blessed thing, but not it's time to go. Now it's time to go, [clap] Now it's time to go, [clap,clap] For your friendship each is a blessed thing, but now it's time to go! [clap] On the twenty-second of September, I'll always recollect. And Frodo too with all of you makes a Gross of my select. Hobbits and friends and Gandalf too with a wonderful firework show. One last regret I'll share with you is now it's time to go. Now it's time to go, [clap] Now it's time to go, [clap,clap] One last regret I'll share with you Is now it's time to go! [clap] Now it's time to go, [clap] Now it's time to go, [clap,clap] I hope to see you soon my friends, but now it's time to go! [clap]
