Do you like our band, want to know more about us and have enough courage to read the following text? Yes? Great! Then enjoy as much we enjoy being a band!
Who are the real women here?
As in all MMO games, it‘s not easy to guess who is behind the characters. Probably we all know the situation. A guy gets in voice chat with this super sexy female character and is all set to start flirting when „she“ starts talking in this baritone or worse – bass – voice! :-) Want to be spared this kind of surprise or do you want to guess who is a real female?? SPOILER ALERT THEN! Well, it‘s quite easy, it‘s us, Melusinae, and Frie!
BTW - We still not sure why a man would like to have a female character, but that’s another story ,-)

Why are some people from our band not on this webpage?
It‘s because of multi-boxing. Some of the band members have more than one account to run more characters at once or just switching between characters. For example, if we want to play Vltava by Bedřich Smetana we need to have 10 players or if somebody‘s LOTRO client crashes, connection starts to get wild, Melu closes her client accidently or somebody logs off a few minutes before the concert :-) - when this sort of thing happens, as you can imagine, having some more characters is really handy.

Where in the world are we from?
First, we all are from planet Earth (We think!). We agree – some band members are strange and we’ve never seen them IRL. We assume they have only 2 arms and 2 legs and if something is missing, we are fine with that ,-)

Big events - how do we do it?
We are glad to be a part of events like Aiding Archet, Fellowship Walk, Weatherstock, Winterstock, Greenfields Music Festival, Spring Racing Carnival, Horrorfest, BrandyJam, Midsummer Rockfest, Winterfest, Oaks and ShireFest. These are quite different from our weekly concerts. We have to have characters on different servers and some, even more than one account. For those who have forgotten how it is to be poor (no 300 gold, no 42.000 marks and medallions, no 754 Moria tokens :-) that´s how it is to be a minstrel on "far away" servers. But we support each other, the organizors of the events are helpful and that‘s what counts. We feel sometimes (in Bruzo‘s words) like a true „Minstrel“ ... playing in different places, for different purposes and different people; in cities and in the middle of nowhere, for glory or charity, for individuals and crowds. We love this minstrel life!
For these big events, we prepare ourselves a little bit more then usual. Sometimes our preparations are made well in advance. We don‘t have strict rules, but we do have preferences. For example, Melu prefers harp. :-) We put together songs we like or we think the audience would like; nearly the same. :)
Then we must check the playlist against the songbook, reduce the graphic options, turn off emote chat filter and hope that the connection stays stabile so we don‘t crash. What else can happen one minute before the concert starts, that‘s an another story :-)
