Thread: [EVENT] Songburrow Strollers Concert at Pierson's Farm - 18 September

The Songburrow Strollers - Breeland Concerts
Concert 4 - Pierson's Farm (Sunday 18 September)

Hearing word of a lively musical concert at Thornley's Worksite back in July, Farmer Pierson did not want to be outdone, and so has invited the Songburrow Strollers to perform over at his farm, south of Bree, where he has a little gazebo set in an orchard, ideal for the event.

Therefore the Songburrow Strollers are pleased to announce the fourth concert in their Breelands tour. It will be held at Gazebo next to Pierson's Farm, just south of Bree, on Sunday 18th September, where the usual mix of old and new songs will be performed for the enjoyment of tall and short folk alike.

Prior to the concert there will be a short gathering at the farm itself, where food and drink will be served, after which the concert will begin!

Folks of all shapes and sizes are welcome to attend, although tall folk should be polite enough to stand at the back so as not to block the views of the little folk.

*checks her list of things to do*

Hmhm, that ought ter be all the chores done. Time ter enjoy a grand social weekend. Birthday party tonight, Green Dragon on Friday and a visit ter Brockenborings on Saturday. And the markets next week. Jolly good times, aye.

*reads the item on the bottom of the list*

Oh, and a concert on Sunday? That'll be good fun, I am sure. I wonder who'll play th.....
SUNDAY! Eek!

*frantically rushes about, drags clothes out of her chests and prepares many jars of biscuits for the travel east*

Benevolent Bobbins mentioned to me that this is a concert not to forget!

A grumpy dwarf called Disli will be in attendance too (please do forgive Ben's invite!)

Disli wrote to Benevolent...

"I would cordially invite all of my kinsmen to this event, for such a distraction only hobbits can portray, the wonders of leisure and poetry in the depths of decay"

Benevolent Bobbins profusely apologises for the usual Dwarvish grumpiness, and then thinks that he must eat a Strawberry pie...

*sets off for Bree with bags full of biscuits, humming the Strollers Waltz

The night is for dancing but so is the day
The Songburrow Strollers are playing today
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum fall-de-dol doodle-dum
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum lidy-I-dee

Tonight, then! Welcome!

A rare behind the scenes look of the Songburrow Strollers after they are discovered at a secret rehearsal by a group of curious Hobbits. We kept yer secret a secret!

It was a grand night indeed! Well, for them musicians, at least, I hope we didn't bore the rest of yer...

It was grand to see so many of yer there, and thank yer kindly everyone who have posted images from the night! A few more can be found back here.

It is quite a fine farm master Pierson's got himself, and that apple orchard made us feel right at home. Hence we played a few songs from the Shire. Here's one of them:

The sheepdog known as Ruff

In Brockenborings there is a dog who is scrawny and small and scarred
But all the sheep on the Greenfields feel so much safer when he's on guard
He plays with children, he chases wolves, he's brave and he's kindly and tough
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff

When Ruff was born, his brothers laughed, for he was small as a pea
But when he fought them he bit them all, his siblings soon had to flee
He's sly as a fox, he opens locks, he eats his pies with a puff
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff

One summer day as the flowers bloomed a dog moved in next door
A lovely lass with a shiny coat, her spirits started to soar
For through the fence a dog came over, he barked and he strutted his stuff
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff

So if you ever go north and pass through the lovely fields of green
Look out for dogs who are small and kind and with coats of a scrawny sheen
They play with children, they chase the wolves, the locals just can't get enough
Of the many pups all fathered by the sheepdog known as Ruff
Oh, in all of the Shire, there's no-one quite like the sheepdog known as Ruff

((Best sung to the tune of The Fair Maid of Islington))

Darn! I missed it! Just got my internet connected in my place earlier in the day. *sighs*

I'm sure the concert was lovely, and you all had an awesome time. I hope to be there on your next performance.

Oh, and thanks for the screenies, esp. D. They're amazing, as always. :3

I missed your concert but will do my best to be at the next one.

Oh, by the way: I was born, and lived in Islington for 29 years and never heard of the" The Fair Maid of Islington " Rather embarrassing really

as I thought it would happen, the birthday I had to attand was taking way longer then I wanted to (wasn't even fun ) and since I(well actually we) drove with some others...

hopefully I can join an other concert.
it sure looked like fun
