27th February 2019 - Climbing for Awards

Thought for the day:"I say no to alcohol, it just doesn’t listen"

So - the Shortlist is out ... LARP AWARDS 2019

Bard of the Year

Vollsanger

Just a lovely chap, always playing and helped make some really atmospheric moments this year for the wolves after several player deaths.

Because ... well ... Volsanger

Iain is amazing. His humor, songs and enthusiasm makes every event he attends a joy. He upped his game so much this year at CP getting huge crowds of people singing along to him and his guitar

Granny and the boon

there album and tour just gave everyone something to interact and play with. they are second to none with entertainment of a crowd drawing them in and make them feel part of the experience.

The greatest goblin double act the world has ever seen, with possibly the greatest LARP album ever produced. In my opinion.

they're both insanely musical and hilarious

Mark Chilvers

His ability to invent whole songs and ballads ON THE SPOT - means everyone - player or crew - get involved in the song!

Great artist and always has a song. I always enjoy hearing him play.

As well as an established repertoire he tailors lyrics and tunes to the event unfolding around him

Gabrielle Joanne

Runs songs and stories each night in the Navarr camp. Excellent balance between doing the entertaining herself, giving others a chance to perform and encouraging them to do so. Adds to the game rather than taking over as many bards do.

she sings beautifully but never hogs the limelight always encouraging other people to get up and perform.

shes good, shes modest and she brings the campfires she sings round to life without making it about her, unlike many bards.

Michelle Cleland

only bard iv ever really stayed up to hear tell storys and sing of times in games always song with such love and joy for making peoples games better

As well as being entertaining, Shell is good at remembering stories and spreading them throughout a system. She's a long-standing member of Lorien Trust and has recently brought her skills to Erda.

an accomplished bard with a phenomenal voice who is also an absolute star; no pun intended; when it comes to assisting new aspiring bards, being able & willing to offer good advice and support to folk both before and after their performances,
Good luck to all ...
