Everyone is welcome to participate, whether you have experience doing bardic things or not. Newbies are more than welcome!

• I had a wonderful time seeing everyone at Coronation yesterday! For those of you who couldn't stay for the Bardic competition in the evening, here is a recorded version of the piece I wrote and performed for the occasion. I am honored that this song was selected by Their Majesties as the winner of the Bardic competition, and am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their celebration. Shalom!
