Today was epic!   Weatherstock V was held on the top of Weathertop today and what can I say?  It was a great event and I might even hazard a guess, it was the most enjoyable Weatherstock that I have attended. Firstly lets look at the organisers. Great job Lonely Mountain Band!  Floradine, the stage manager kept the flow of the show going with bands coming and...

But are you aware that dressing to the nines might cause trouble for you and other audience members? For instance, this is a lovely looking lady. But can you tell me what’s wrong with her...

My apologies to the band Runic Knights Orchestra. I made an error in my last post announcement stating they were to play thursday. The Concert is today WEDNESDAY 17th July

The first song, an upbeat jazzy number, ends and a brightly dressed Hobbit steps forward. “Thank ‘ee! Thank ‘ee a whole bunch!” he says to the enthusiastic crowd. “We’re The Breakfast Club, out ‘o Crickhollow! I’m Dallofin Bolderbrook, Daffin t’ m’ friends, an’ it’s my great privilege...

Don’t miss the final two bands to play in our Concert Series….After this you can all start to try and pick which you like the most. I cannot decide as I like them all.

This weekend has been crazy with concerts on the Landroval server as we get closer to the big date of Weatherstock 2013. In fact, just a half hour after finishing up a pre-Weatherstock concert with my own band I found myself in the Bree-town park area (across from the Bree-town jail) listening to the next group in the lineup: Mornie Alantie. Curudirion,...

I was a little late for the opening of this concert, I apologise to the band. It took longer than usual to log in-game, by the time I had entered the auction hall the music was drifting out reaching an audience far beyond the walls of the hall. At first it was a little difficult to see the band as I am only a small Hobbit, the room was crowded with bodies of...

One of the more interesting bands signed up for Weatherstock this year is having an identity crisis. Originally applying to the show as Flock of Smeagols they seem to have since gone through some kind of arcane process to merge together with last year’s Weatherstock competitors Don’t Tempt Me Frodo. Now they call themselves Flock of Smeagols...

  Sunday morning and it’s time to nibble on second breakfast, rest our sore feet and look back on the last few days of the Weatherstock V Concert series. I managed to attend The Shades concert on Friday (5th July) which was held at the Stage across from the Prancing Pony Inn.  On saturday (6th) I was witness to the extravaganza that was Die Meisterbarden...
