Great Celtic folk music, played fervently on acoustic instruments with a hard-rock attitude

notes

When I first played a cut from Furious Fancies for one of our long-time fans, she listened a while and then said, "So this is like the serious part just before you get funny, right?"

"No, it's not," I replied. "This is a serious song. The whole album is serious music."

"Oh, c'mon, Uncle Cedric," she replied, "the Bedlam Bards don't know any serious songs!"

I knew right then that we had to finish this album just to prove that we are real musicians.

Take a listen to any of the samples, and I think you'll agree that it worked.

After that conversation, I went to the owner of the faire and told him that we would need one set a day outside of the pub, so that we could play music suitable for the whole family. That was the origin of our "sit-down set" (as in, "They told us we had to play on this stage, and we told them we wouldn't stand for it!")

So crack open this CD and enter a mysterious world of pirates, outlaws, ghost ships, madmen, star-crossed lovers, strong drink, and long-lost friends. You'll never be the same again.

Of course, we know you'll want the whole Bedlam Bards collection, so don't forget to check out our other albums:

  • Good Mix of Sad and Whimsical
    author: Shawn Patrick Cooke

    I usually look for lighthearted in my music, but this CD is an exception. It contains two of my favorite songs, "Dark Lady" and "Saint Brendan's Fair Isle," in versions I listen to again and again. That being said, I wasn't as fond of their takes on "Johnny Jump Up" or "Whiskey in the Jar," but that's just a matter of taste. Two songs were completely new to me--"Amarillis' Secret" and "Kilkelly," and they had me close to tears the first time I heard them. All in all, a great CD, and one that constantly pops up on my iPod just when I least expect it.

    Not just serious but tear-jerking. One or two songs on here make me cry so much that I have to skip over them when I'm with others like my husband who thinks it's silly that I cry over things like that. They're good for those cry in your tankard days. But other tunes on here make me want to get up and move. This cd evokes a wide range of emotions and I cannot wait to get my replacement copy.
