Well met, fyne people!  I have created a podcast.  It’s called “Renfest Info And Fun”.  It is already available on Podbean, iHeart, Amazon, Podchaser & Player FM.  It will soon be available on Apple podcasts.

The 1st few episodes will contain mostly music but soon, I plan to have episodes that contain interviews & discussions with the people who make Renaissance Festivals happen:  organizers, vendors, performers & patrons.  I hope that you enjoy these journeys & are able to escape from the Modern World for a while.

There are so many amazingly talented performers who have graciously agreed to allow me to play their music on these podcasts.  My extreme gratitude goes to all of them!  Grammercy & hip, hip, huzzah to all of them!

 Check back every couple of weeks for more Renfest Info And Fun.  Huzzah!

 Here are the artists which can be heard on the 1st podcast:

 

Tullamore’s “Gathering Of Atholl” from their One For The Road album

Fugli’s “The Sword From The Stone” from his Bootleg Edition album

Boru’s Ghost “Butterfly Jig” from their Rites Of Passage album

Southwind Ceilidh’s “Fine Felt Hat” from the Both Ends Of The Day album

Ezndil’s “Blarney Gypsy” from their self-titled album

Hooligan’s “The Cup O’ Tea” from their LIVE album

Wolgemut’s “Scottish Brawl” from their Pipes, Phyfe & Drums (Live at Pennsic X)

The Crossjacks’ “Irish Medley No. 2” from their self-titled album

The Flowers of Edinburgh’s “Scotch Cap Spotted Pony” from their Live And Kicking album

Boru’s Ghost “Fulfillment/The Dream” also from Rites Of Passage

Good day!  Here is an interview about the 2nd Annual Gem of the Chikaskia Renaissance Festival in Blackwell, Oklahoma.  Nikki Barnes is a hard-working coordinator who is dedicated to raising funds for girls in pageants.  The pageants that this Renfest benefits bring self-esteem, determination and many other life-long qualities to those who participate.
