Event Last Modified: June 12th, 2008
**Please note the revised date as of 6/12**
A day of Bardic Arts at the Eve of Winter. The coldest season is nearly here, come join the Baron of Concordia in his long hall to celebrate the Icelandic holiday of Winter Nights.
During the day the bards shall gather for a “cooperative coaching” workshop, where they shall hone their skills at performing. Far from a match of skill, it shall be a place to test ones work, and to solicit advice and feedback from ones fellows. At the same time, those who have a liking of the bardic arts, but also a liking for peace and quiet shall also gather to sew, weave, spin, or whatever suits their fancy. A “bard free” room shall be set aside for this purpose.
A feast shall be served, and then all shall gather around the long fire to hear the bards spin their tales, sing their songs, play their instruments, and recite their verse. All forms of the bardic arts are welcome, from all periods within the SCA. At this time, his Excellency, Baron Angus of Concordia shall choose his new Baronial Bard.
