Huzzah to one and all!!!!
Well, our first faire here in Michigan is underway as of Memorial day weekend. Mayfaire renaissance festival in Marshall Michigan was a great success even with the rain. Wonderful Merchant’s and fellow Entertainer’s were there along with myself to have a wondrous weekend of Enchantment, great turkey legs, and fantastic drum circles with belly dancers.

I averaged about 5 shows a day including minstrelling on corners (which actually worked better for ohms….lol).

I first heard the Aberlours in Germany when they played a Renaissance evening in a castle in Glauchau. They are a 5 piece band that plays electric Celtic type music, a la Silly Wizard, with guitars, flute, fiddle, bass and drums. They sing in English and German, and are named after a Scottish brand of scotch whiskey. They have a huge amount of talent, and have recently played with Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull fame).
