Aibhilin has a bio so impressive it cannot be contained here. Please click here for details.

She has sung professionally, off and on, since she was two years old. She is the current Bardic Champion of Flaming Gryphon, Midrealm, and was the first Bardic Champion of Stonemarche, East Kingdom.

Her "Speaking Forsoothly" article ran in the Known World Handbook for many years. She has also taught the live class for Caid's Collegium, for the Kansas City RenFest, and for the renowned Living History performing troupe she brought to Britain that "populated" real castles and stately homes from 1988 to 1998., "Past Times With Good Company."

Ollamh Brendan O Corraidhe (OL) has been a bard in the SCA since AS XIV. He does in fact have the t-shirt (a few of them actually), but headlining the Green Dragon is still on his bucket list.

Cerian Cantwr is a bard in the mid-15th century. He can be found wandering the land entertaining the populace with song, story, and poem.

In the SCA, he does much the same and has spent 7 years as seneschal of Tree-Girt-Sea in expiation of his sins. During his spare (hah) time, he maintains far too many SCA web sites, is the Bard Wrangler for the upcoming Known World Cooks and Bards (2019), and is the retired provost for Mid-Realm Bardic Madness. He is squired to Sir Galem Lionel Ostwestly (deceased) and Duke Sir Comar gyr Mirand.

Charles Grab is an independent computer consultant in the early 21st century. He can be found wandering the land building databases, applications, and system designs.

Dahrien often takes things far too seriously.

He is apprenticed to Master John Inchingham, and threatens to remain so even if the imponderable should happen and he should be made a Laurel.

Dorothea de Beckham is an east Anglian who tends to be found traveling around the coasts of the Atlantic and Mediterranean but spent most of this past summer in Brittany when not hopping around the Known World catching up on the news. Dorothea has a long acquaintance with the ongoing hunt for fragments of "There’s a Splinter in My Rowing Bench". This reading is done at the request of Mistress Morgana bro Morganwg.

Drake Oranwood is Consort’s Bardic Champion of the East Kingdom.

With a passion for word smithing and wit dry enough to make the Atacama sweat, Éadaoin has been performing, writing, and hosting bardic circles for 15+ years in various games. She has served both as baronial and kingdom bard in her seven short years in the SCA, split between the Dragon Lands of the Midlands and Sylvan Æthelmearc. Ever the curious rover, you'll find her most often at events hopping from circle to circle, gathering what memories and lore and humor she can. And always, ALWAYS feel encouraged to share your puns around Éadaoin (they're probably better than hers).

Magistra Fiana of Clare is a poet, storyteller, singer, and scholar. She often teaches poetry and story-telling.

M. Wendy Hennequin is a Professor of English and Women's Studies at Tennessee State University. She specializes in medieval literature and has published several articles on Beowulf, but teaches everything from Gilgamesh to Shakespeare to Gothic novels to Jesus Christ Superstar and Harry Potter. She was also the academic adviser and consulting translator of Beowulf the Event and Beowulf the Roadshow and Beowulf the Ethereal Event, and is the literary advisor for Circle River Productions.

The Honorable Lady Hilla Stormbringer can be seen (or at least heard) at events, singing, singing, singing,causing mischief and mayhem, and random telling of stories. Her other activities include baking, occasional illumination, missing archery targets, and attempting to not bleed on embroidery. She is the current Bard of the Midlands and is apprenticed to Master Cerian Cantwr, and accordingly, has finally learned how to spell 'Cantwr'. She is also the instigator-in-chief of the Ethereal Bardic Symposium and of the Midrealm's Project Hope.

Contrary to popular belief, Hilla cannot control the weather. (Disclaimer: Hilla cannot independently confirm the veracity of the last statement.)

She is a singer, storyteller, and poet and loves to perform pieces from different cultures across the world along with her own creations.

Greetings!

I am Siobhán an Einigh of Connacht, an Irish filidh bard out of the Barony of Ayreton, Midrealm! I flit between many activities - heavy fighting, bookbinding and leatherwork, archery, and so on and suchforth - but my heart and soul are in singing and performance. I love both SCA filks and extant medieval pieces alike, focusing the latter on translating Celtic-language pieces from Welsh and Irish. I am the apprentice of Mistress Katriana op den Dijk of Calontir, the foster-apprentice of Master Cerian Cantwr of House Sans Nomen, and man-at-arms to Ct Seto Gessuko.

Tapadh leibh for your interest in my class!

Taliesin is a scop from the woods and lakes of Pentamere, in the northern reaches of the Middle Kingdom. She has woven words since she was a child, she sings decently, and plays a few instruments with adequate results. Her specialties are historical linguistics, spinning & weaving, and didactic and narrative poetry. If she corners you at an event, she will talk for hours about food, cats, math, and comparative mythology.

Teuctli Tenochcacuicatl Delmar (Lord Tenoch) hails from the Barony of Stargate in the Kingdom of Ansteorra where he serves as the current Premiere Bard of Ansteorra. His interests include New World studies (with a special focus on the Aztec Empire) as well as bardic and musical activities from anywhere in the Known World.

Tommaso was born on some Channel island or another, leaving when he was quite young to join a coastal, riparian, and naval proactive salvage concern. This choice was not entirely his. Nonetheless he was diligent and rose through the ranks, eventually owning a small merchant fleet. Along the way he learned some of the ways to wile away the hours belowdecks in poor weather. The diversity of the seafaring population means he knows stories and songs from many when/wheres. Fortunately he's unaware of any incongruity.

Tommaso was made a Companion of the Order of the Willow by Her Majesty Anne Marie and His Majesty Dag. He's certain the initials OW represent the inevitable injuries associated with learning a new A&S skill.

He was the first student and apprentice of Dame Estelle de la Mer.

Charles Krug is a recovering choir director who's been making music all his life. He plays hand drums, guitar, ukulele, and wind instruments (poorly). He attended Manhattan School of Music where he studied composition with David Noon and Ludmila Ulelelova and piano with Giampaolo Bracali.
