Event details:
As usual, we’ll just have to go try find those singing spring badgers in the Shire forests, who greet the spring with song. As usual, we’ll probably be disappointed.
So, the Brandy Badgers have a backup musical for the night, telling the tale of … Berno, poetical lad extraordinaire, who had the misfortune to find a gem in his last slice of yule pie, meaning he has to find a blue-eyed lass to marry (don’t ask, it is an old Shire tradition). Enter his best friend Reginald, musical lad extraordinaire, who takes the pair on a grand quest involving steak, rolling pins, Brockenborings sheepdogs, musical badgers and rivers that never really run where you expect them to. Wonderful wacky wonders and hilarious hi-jinks may or may not ensue!
Welcome to a tale of high drama, low comedy, blue eyes and soft berries! And lots of grand music. Come join us outside of Bamfurlong on May 3rd! We will meet just north-east of the Bamfurlong farm in the Marish area of the Shire, just inland from the Bucklebury ferry, see the map below.
The event will be a musical, based around the real-life songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. However, the story and song lyrics will all be somewhat LOTRO lore relevant (and performed in the /say channel). The musical will be performed by The Brandy Badgers, an in-house music collective of the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom.
This is a hobbit-themed tale, although travellers from out of bounds who have good reason to be into hobbit music and badger mythology are of course welcome along! Just don’t block the view of the locals! Please keep chat in-character and don’t discuss things not belonging in Middle Earth.
