The latest music news, stories, and events of The Original Celtic Renaissance music group, the Brobdingnagian Bards. CELTIC GEEK at its Best! Find out more from the Nagians page.

Well our Official SXSW showcase is done and over. And it went pretty well, all things considered. The "all things considered" refers to our sound engineer or lack of a decent one. But despite the whirrring sound from speakers turned up too high, we kept smiles on our faces and did what we could to put on a great show. Sold a quite a few CDs, passed out a ton of business cards and met some great people.

On other news, we did not win any awards in the Austin Music Awards, BUT we certainly made an impression. With a little more organization, we'll definitely score some winners next here. Click here for the full results.

Here's how we ranked in the Best of
#10 Song of the Year: Tolkien (The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings)
#19 Male Vocals: Marc Gunn
#7 Band Website: TheBards.net
#4 Misc Instrument: Andrew McKee, Recorder
#3 Strings: Marc Gunn, autoharp
#6 Folk
#5 World Music
#3 None of the Above

Plus, our friend Donnelle McKaskle came out as follows:
#14 Celtic Storm, Donnelle McKaskle; KOOP

If you remember, a few weeks back, we were interviewed by the local WB affiliate for program that would air last night. It did, and it went great. I think considering how well we ranked (out of thousands of bands), our statement about "introducing ourselves to the Austin community" was extremely well done. Thank you all for your votes. I predict in another year, we will sweep the Austin Music Awards. Thanks!
