Middle-earth Music Festival - who should be playing?
|
Can't Post
|
|
Some acts have already been confirmed:
The Jazz Tent will have The Huorns, who you probably know of through their cover of that well known standard, "Ent Misbehavin' "
The Blue Wizards will top the Jazz lineup, as you'd expect.
On the main stage, from Erebor, will be the Dwarven Heavy Metal band Baruk Khazad. Their highly distorted electric guitars playing "Smaug on the Water" are likely to cause as much hearing loss as ever.
Please add to this thread as you come across more Middle-earth bands and their music...
Disclaimers: The words of noWizardme may stand on their heads! I'm often wrong about things, and its fun to be taught more....
"nowimë I am in the West, Furincurunir to the Dwarves (or at least, to their best friend) and by other names in other lands. Mostly they just say 'Oh no it's him - look busy!' "

The trouble with starting a game like this

The trouble with starting a game like this is that you end up wondering whether "Beyoncë " sounds like an Elvish singer& if so whether she'd perform "if you like it do not put a ring on it".
Which is hardly a sensible use of time...
I think she's touring as "Mrs Elessar" this season, though.

I met a Balrog on the stair.
He had some wings that weren't there.
They weren't there again today.
I wish he would just fly away.

The Wing(less) Balrogs open with “We didn’t start the fire.”
Then the Vanyar blast out with: “Varda in the Sky with Diamonds.”
Nienna croons: “Cry me a river.”
In the children’s corner, Shelob renders “Itsy Bitsy Spider” to the kids, who for some reason later go missing, but Shelob is left smiling angelically.
For the Numenor Survivors’ Benefit: Ulmo & Nemo: “Surfin’ USA”, which some believe is the real way they got to the west coast of the world.
On a side stage, Tom Bombadil sings “Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol!”, which intellectuals insist is an encrypted code only they understand.

  But, I have heard that The Ravens of Erebor (well known heavy metal group) have just split because one faction wanted a softer musical approach- they've called themselves "The Caws" (not daft at all)

will perform those beloved standards "I Write the Songs" and "One Voice".
It's a sing-along, so join in!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKPWzLgvgW4
Just one voice
Singing in the darkness
All it takes is one voice
Singing so they hear what's on your mind
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than
One voice
Singing in the darkness
Joining with your one voice
Each and every note another rock
And hands are joined and fears unlock
If only one voice
Would start it on it's own
We need just one voice
Facing the unknown
And then that one voice
Would never be alone
It takes that one voice
Pa pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa
It takes that one voice
Just one voice
Singing in the darkness
All it takes just one voice
Shout it out and let it ring
Just one voice
It takes that one voice
And everyone will sing

I hope we get that Entish surf sound band, the Beech Boys. But I didn't like the other Ent band they had; the ones that did that Prodigy cover Smack My Birch Up.
And I've hear that the troll band Simple Minds will play a set including the classic Don't You Forget About Thingy.
And then there's that Moria band Orc-estral Manouvers in the Dark
Furthermore there is a rumour that The Ungrateful Undead will emerge from the Paths of the Dead, if Aragorn agrees to lead the band.
Is it true that Galadriel's stage name is Lady Ga-ga by the way?

That should sell some tickets.

there are probably a load of people who don't come to this board, thinking that we're having a very deep, earnest and intellectual debate here!
A very good topic and v funny. My brain is too tired to think much more
