Ladies and Gentlemen of Middle-Earth!

We heartily invite you to our next concert in the Weatherstock Concert Series!

We will have "The Chosen Few" from the server Laurelin playing on Friday, May 25th at 6pm /servertime (yes that is a chat-line command) in Bree at the Prancing Pony.

Please give our guest band a warm welcome!

This is tomorrow!

This is today! Everyone be there at 6pm today!

Woe is me! The concert is today, and I still haven't decided which hat to wear - the red fancy one, the black spiffy one or go with latest fashion trends and buy a flower circlet.

Sometimes LotRO is such a hard game for me.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for Landrovalians to show off the latest festival fashions. And maybe get spotlighted in the Landroval Times!

*waves, smiles and looks really sleepy*

I would like to thank you kindly all the lovely folk of Landroval for attending our performance tonight. It was the most amazing evening and so nice to see so many happy people. a very special thank you to Miss Anthemisi for her warm welcome, support and help with logistics and pies. Please be always welcome on Laurelin and know you have a true friend there too.

Sadly I will personally not be able to perform at the main Weatherstock event as I am off to a great adventure soon, but I shall indeed visit Landroval in the future to meet you again and make some music together .

With Kind Regards

Amorey

Congratulations to The Chosen Few for an outstanding concert!


This was most awesome, they continuously played catchy tunes and good rhythms. Everyone had really good times and I was quite exhausted after the show from all the dancing!


You can find one hundred (!) photos of this concert on my Flickr Stream:

Sadly I was only able to attend the second half of the concert of The Chosen Few, but I enjoyed all the upbeat songs!

But what was that part with all the hopping? It looks like a very... athletic number.

Ha! Thank you Venerab, these are awesome!

Apis, they called it "The Hopping Song" and it required a LOT of .... well... hopping! It was great fun!


Now folks... mark the next weekend on your calendars! We will have 3 bands playing on Saturday (June 2nd) and one on Sunday (June 3rd) !

More info about bands and exact times will come here soon!

First of all, a big 'Thank You!' to all the people attending our little show on friday.

It was the best audience we could ever hope of. Amazing!
/bow bows deeply for the audience.

I can just add to Amorey's words higher up here to praise both the people behind the
event and Miss Anthemisi for her splendid help getting everything we needed in order
before the concert. A thank you to miss Venerab for taking the time filming those tunes,
and to miss Floradine for a very eager 'trigger finger' regarding over a hundred photo's
from the event. Thank you so much all of ya.

We will surely be back to hold other concerts for ya fine people. We got 'a few' songs
more ya might say.... :-)


Thank you all once again for a superb evening.


On the behalf of the Chosen Few
Grymrock Grey.


PS, the 'hopping song' is a well known tune in the Shire area of Laurelin and are performed by
a lot of the bands around there. Its a two part tune where ya are supposed to hop at the
'fast part' and relax on the other half :-)

The "hopping song", as folks seem to be calling it, is the Bywater Bouncing Song, a tune put together by Lina Willowwood of the Songburrow Strollers @Laurelin!

And the Songburrow Strollers will be playing their part of the Weatherstock Concert Series on Saturday, June 2nd! That's less than a week away! I hope to see all of you there.

*cheers*

#The night is for dancing, but so is the day,#
#The Songburrow Strollers are playing in a few days!#

Aha, Bywater Bouncing Song, a catchy name! This is why I like having cross-server events: it gives us a chance to be exposed to some of these things which are apparently common knowledge in the culture of another server.

The next weekend will be packed with all kinds of great music by three of the Weatherstock bands on Saturday, June 2nd!

Here is the lineup:



We start at 1pm /servertime with Don't Tempt Me Frodo:








After that we have The Songburrow Strollers playing at 4 pm in Bree at the Town Hall:








And just 2 hours later, at 6pm, we will have Andúnië playing in Bree at the Prancing Pony:







On June 3rd we continue the Series with Symphonious playing at 4pm /servertime in Bree:

Actually Andunie will be playing outside the Pony not at the Town Hall. Sorry if there was a mix-up.

Laurefinde,

I am so sorry, that was entirely my fault! I corrected the poster to announce the Prancing Pony!

Everyone: Please reload the page of you don't see the Prancing Pony as the concert location on the poster!

Floradine

The Songburrow Strollers have started their long journey to Weatherstock 2012! On the way, they will stop in Bree to resupply foods, look for local biscuit recipes and have an ale or three (preferably in pints).

Oh, and unless them ales are too strong, they will play their Weatherstock Warmup Concert as well. Looking forward to this Saturday, June 2! 4PM servertime at the Town Hall, hope ter see many of yer there!

So... what can yer expect from them Strollers? Here is one clue...

My favorite memory from last years Weatherstock was that biscuit song! Can't wait for a chance to (hopefully) eat and dance to it again!

--One Hungry Hobbit

Oh my! It were a long journey from Frogmorton, but I have arrived at the Prancing Pony! There are others coming along behind me as well, so I hope that ol' Butterbur has enough beds for all of us!

After I have a chance to rest and eat a few biscuits, I'll be wandering around Bree. I'll be in the easily recognizable Stroller Green, so if ya see me, do introduce yerself!

The night is for dancing but so is the day,
The Songburrow Strollers are playing today!

Let me remind you all that there are three concerts today!

I was astounded to see so many Andunie members ready to play tonight, it seems more are joining us every day. Andunie members present for the concert in Bree were Kalluin, Taendis, Manadhlaer, Alcano, Phedelene, Makalaure, Celessa, Fionnuala, Ledepeter, Thonriel, Tameren, Ancalimo, and Telperusse. With so many members available we had some confusion with a few songs what with strings breaking and woodwinds needing new reeds but we got through a huge lineup of songs. (almost two hours!) Unfortunately I did not take any screenshots so I would appreciate it if others could pass them on. Thanks!

Screenshots of all concerts will be available within the next 24 hours. No worries, there are plenty

First up yesterday was Don't Tempt Me, Frodo who played a very entertaining set and got all the audience up their feet!

Their music was somewhat... different... not only that I don't have any clue where "Russia" may be but how blocks could fall horizontally instead of vertically really boggled not only my mind. The music was quite funny though!





The audience -as could be expected in the Shire- was formed mostly by Hobbits. And if anyone knows how to have a good party then it's us! And the band kept us happy all the time!






And then the mother of two band members came by for a visit! And of course the band played a special song just for her. If your mother is a Hobbit you better keep her amused! (ooc to explain: We are talking about their RL mother here )

Surprisingly the band was cought by surprise when we surprised them with a very unsurprising cry for an encore!






Go here for all the images I took during this fabulous concert:

Next up that day were The Songburrow Strollers, who played their great music in Bree at the town hall:






They kept singing their songs about food and every Hobbit got hungry from that alone...





Although the audience was mostly Hobbits again many big folks apparently had fun, too:





And as it tradition on Laurelin the Strollers played their famous "Hopping Song" and everyone was totally happy with all the action!

The third and last band playing on this Saturday was Andúnië, an all elven band and they were somewhat different indeed from the previous bands with their elven themes in their songs. And as they were the last band playing that day they had the advantage of an open end... and used it well. They played for an awesome 1 hour and 40 minutes!







The crowd started out being a bit small but grew constantly.





But their music was not all "elvish sweet and lovely" if you know what I mean. They also were capable of getting the crowd to dance! Oh yes! And you know who's gonna dance if there are dancing tunes to dance to!





And then they surprised the audience with a quite unusual piece... Look at all those drums!




This was an outstanding concert! Thank you Andúnië for your wonderful performance!

But folks we are not done yet with this concert series! We are only halfway through!


May I remind you of this concert TODAY?

Had a most wonderful time.

Ooh, those are some lovely pictures. Thank yer! And thanks to them organizers for all help and support so far, yer been grand, yer have.

Else, we had us a good time last night! Warming up with Don't Tempt Me Frodo and recovering after our own show with Anduine, and of course playing our own concert. It was grand to meet friends both old and new there, and the dancing got quite wild at times. Just as we like it!

Miss Rowana has also made some pictures from the night, yer can see them all at the Grand Order forums

Ooh, and now to answer some interview questions before heading towards Weathertop... Hope to see yer all there in two weeks!

Don't Tempt Me Frodo had an absolutely amazing time at our concert. Thanks so much to all who attended. (Even the guy who booed us. As I said at the show, boos are fine since they are only applause from ghosts.)

The welcome we have received from the vast majority of Landroval has been quite frankly humbling. You are all amazing people, and we truly cannot wait for the main event.

Hearts stars and horseshoes,
Chas

ps: Thank you for being nice to my mom.

pss: Our set ran about an hour and a half. Not too shabby for the opening band, IMO.

Symphonious played on June 3rd and they did a really great performance!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Our Weatherstock Concert Series goes on and on...

Next up we will have RKO, the band from the Brandywine server. They will play on June 6th, 9:30PM, at the Scholar's Walk in Bree:







And on Friday we have our second band from the German server Belegaer: Mornie Alantie. And they will play on June 8th at 8pm /servertime at the town hall in Bree:

And here are the final two concerts of the Weatherstock Concert Series!

On June 9th we will have The Breakfast Club playing at 2pm /servertime in Bree at the west stables:





And later the same day (June 9th) at 9:30 pm /servertime we will have "The Travelling Ingolemos":

Envoyé par Glenwin

Woohoo!

The Traveling Ingolemos will have a heck of a show for you all. We'll perform our winning sets from the last two Weatherstock events plus some old favorites from our 2 1/2 years as a performing band and a few rockin' new songs as well. Don't miss it!

I assume that means "if" Ingolemo can stay out of jail. I seriously reccommend this show. They are not two time Weatherstock award winners by accident!

Aw... 5:30 am here in Moscow, Fionnuala. I wanted to see your band, I missed it on the last Weatherstock due to the time difference!

I'll make sure to see you this year on the summit.

Giving a tender /push for Mornie Alantie from the server Belegaer.
They will play today at 8pm in Bree at the town hall! See info above.
