It is difficult maintaining Patreon pages. We do not feel like we have adequately done ours justice. So we 've decided that our Patreon page will end at the end of April 2023.

Now this is NOT the end of patronage for our music. We are just looking into other options. For one, you can still support us on Patreon as individual musicians.

Andrew McKee is at https://www.patreon.com/irishbard
Marc Gunn is at http://patreon.com/celtfather

Keep an eye open for more Brobdingnagian Bards content in the months to come.

If you love Brobdingnagian Bards, become a part of our creative process and continued musical exploration.

WHO ARE BROBDINGNAGIAN BARDS?

In 1999, Marc Gunn was playing music on the South Mall at the University of Texas at Austin. A listener approached him and asked if he wanted to perform at a Renaissance festival. A bit terrified of performing solo, he asked college dorm friend Andrew McKee to join him. The result was magical. The Original Celtic Renaissance duo was born!

Within a few short years, the Brobdingnagian Bards attracted Celtic music fans from around the globe. They were one of the Top 20 most-downloaded bands on the original MP3 .com. They performed at a Lord of the Rings Oscar Party for the final award-winning film. Their album, Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales, was the #1 album on CD Baby when it was released.

In 2008, they parted ways. It didn't take long before they started performing together again, first at DragonCon and then at other venues like Sherwood Forest Faire. At every show, they delight their audiences with fun, engaging music and banter that win over music fans everywhere.

WHY NOT PATREON?

We LOVE Patreon. However, our experiment to turn it into a record label did not go as planned. Perhaps this is because we do not perform together except a couple times a year at Sherwood Forest Faire and Dragon Con.

We believe in giving great value to our Patrons. We were very active early on. But we just weren't able to commit the time we hoped we could. Because of this, we decided to stop end our Patreon page for the band.

Of course, it's not like we don't have our own SOLO Patreon Pages (see above).

So our new plan is to promote our individual Patreon pages. Sign up to get bonus content. Plus, you'll also get Brobdingnagian Bards content, including our near monthly Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast.

Thank you to everyone who so generously supports our music. Keep an eye on Bandcamp and our Kickstarter page.

Slainte!
