Bards of An Tir

An informal social group within the kingdom of An Tir. The Bards of An Tir exist to foster the bardic arts throughout the kingdom of An Tir. They host several on going bardic activities including:

• A sponsored bardic fire and encampment at each of the outdoor Kingdom Events. All bards and supports are invited to camp and participate at the fire.
• At September Crown they host a bardic competition, the Chorum Leo.
• Semi-final bardic match up at September Crown and May Crown. The final 8-9 competitors are matched up with bards who write small performance pieces based on the fights they saw.
• At least one educational village a year.

The Bards of An Tir, also known as BOAT, work with the An Tir Players to host 2 plays and 2 skits at the 4 kingdom events.

Club History

Bards in An Tir have been attempting to organize since its inception. Various guilds have risen and fallen over the years. With the advent and popularity of facebook the bards of An Tir came together as a more cohesive and on going collection of bards. Master Fearain with the support of house dal gCaise started hosting regular fires and encampments under the name. Soon more and more bards came together and now it is a thriving community of divers individuals and collection of talents.
