5 out of 5 stars This is the classic Bards ..........2005-05-14

that we all love from the Renn Faire or the occasional convention. Full of fun with some of the sweeter melodies such as "Wild Mountain Thyme" this is the Bards at their best. If you're like and fell in love with these guys at a Faire or con, then this is surely the CD for you.

5 out of 5 stars Love the Bards!.......2004-06-20

A Faire to Remember is the best CD to get to introduce yourself to the Bards with. It has most of their funniest songs on one CD. Its a great buy for anyone with a good sense of fun!

5 out of 5 stars The best of the best.......2004-05-20

Can't make it to the Faire?Listen to AFTR,and you'll be there.This cd will make you laugh,cry,and get up and dance.I raise my glass high in toast to this cd,and you will,too.From comical tunes like "the Scotsman"&"A Fairy Story"to the more heart-felt tunes like "Wild Mountain Thyme"& "Health to the Company",this cd offers a chance to experience the faire from your home.I highly recommend you get this cd.You won't be disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars Captures the spirit of their live show........2004-05-20

The live show.

An audience in garb laughs and claps and sings along. Marc dances around as Andrew tries to maintain sanity. Sometimes.

It's the best thing about the Bards.

The Bards have recorded a tremendous library of old Ren Faire favorites, original songs, folk music, and the occasional Tom Lehrer tribute piece, and dominated the World Music charts on the old MP3.com.

A Faire to Remember captures the spirit of their live Ren Faire show; they recorded the songs the way they're performed, and even threw in "A Short Interlude" to keep the banter going. As I listened, I felt like they were with me in my living room, talking to me, while I laughed and clapped and sang along.

If you like the Bards' music and haven't heard them live, the free-form approach of A Faire to Remember is as close to being there as you can get. You owe it to your "elf" to get this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Love Renaissance Faires? You'll love this cd..........2004-05-13

Beloved faire songs, including The Mermaid, make this compilation a must-have for any faire goer...recommended, too, for faire newcomers who want a quick sampling of the music they will likely hear at any rensaissance faire...and, as always, delivered by the Brob Bards with skill, wit and panache!

Album Description

Ireland is rich in a musical history that goes back hundreds of years. Before even many of the great Irish fiddle tunes gained their popularity, the Irish were singing songs themselves.

Songs of of Ireland is a new exploration of the Irish songs by the Brobdingnagian Bards. On this packed, 19 song CD, you will hear the joy and sorrow of the Irish and Irish Americans in an hour of great music that is perfect for St. Patricks' Day and quickly come to understand why The Bards are considered "masters of the traditional folk".

2 out of 5 stars Songs of Ireland (Irish Folk Songs) Brobdingnagian Bards.......2006-07-11

I wanted some authentic Irish folk songs for my elementary music classes. Only two or three titles from this CD will be useful. I was disappointed. However, I did like some of the accompaniments.

1 out of 5 stars Oh Dear.......2006-06-09

A dreadful selection of material designed to appeal to third/fourth generation Irish in USA, preferably wearing leprechaun hats and swilling warm Guinness. Hopefully won't be heard in Ireland.

2 out of 5 stars Songs of Ireland.......2006-03-18

Was disappointed. Singer over-powered the accompanying music rather than blending with it. Singing voice was not that good. Have heard much better Irish singers. Would not purchase Brobdignagain Bards again.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone is Irish ..........2005-05-14

on St Patrick's Day, or so the say goes, but this CD reaches out to the Irish in us all no matter what time of the year it is. There's some funny songs like "Lannigan's Ball" or "Finnegan's Wake" and then there are the ballads such as "Irish Lullaby" and "Danny Boy". This is a CD for everyone from baby to great grandma, whether Irish or not.

5 out of 5 stars Blessed are the Irish.......2004-06-27

This cd makes me wish I was Irish...I raise a glass in toast to this cd.From traditional Irish songs like"Danny Boy","An Irish Lullaby"&"Rocky Road to Dublin"to traditional Irish drinking songs,such as "Finnigan"s Wake"&"Jug of Punch".From the comical to the more heart felt,this cd has it all.You may not be Irish,but you'll be singing along with the songs like you were.One of the best Irish cd's I've ever heard.

2 out of 5 stars An honest review.......2007-01-17

I purchased this CD hoping to use some of the tracks in my December 23rd wedding. I come from Irish heritage and wanted to honor it in some way; I was also excited because of the 'Lord of the Rings' track.

I was less than impressed with the CD as a whole. The music was not celtic in feeling, nor was the music of a high quality.

Perhaps my review is based on personal opinion, but it is my review nonetheless.

I hope this helps, I would not purchase this CD again if I had the opportunity - there are MUCH better celtic CD's out there!

2 out of 5 stars Wouldn't Recommend.......2007-01-10

The music is fine but the singing is not great. Wouldn't recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Loves songs from Old ..........2005-05-14

and not so old, as well. This CD is a wonderful collection of traditional and new Celtic songs sure to warm your heart while you are surrounded by friends and family on that special day.

        This is a beautiful and moving album, whether you are a speaker of the Russian language or not. Zhanna's voice moves easily from dusky depth to passionate outpouring, accompanied skillfully by guitar and balaleika. If you are learning Russian, these songs are valuable listening, with clearly enunciated words and pronunciation.
