Yesterday, I posted a video from Skellig Michael on YouTube. It's me singing "Jedi Mickey" from the island where Jedi Temple in The Last Jedi was filmed. You can't see the actual huts here. But I'll have more videos to come on that. I got a little bit o'footage.

Let me know what you think of the video and song, and if you have a moment to share, I'd deeply appreciate it. We are just 10 days away from launching the Bards Kickstarter.

If you want to read more of my adventure to Skellig Michael, click here.

Oh! And I'm back from Celtic Invasions at long last.

JEDI MICKEY on SKELLIG MICHAEL (Disney Buys Star Wars Song)

One of the songs that established our musical style was the Jedi Drinking Songs. When Disney bought Star Wars, we wrote "Jedi Mickey" to predict the future of the Star Wars movies. I still think we're on target. In June 2019, Marc Gunn went to Skellig Michael. That's where the Jedi Temple was filmed in the movie The Last Jedi. I felt it was a moral imperative to record our new song at this holy place in off the coast of Kerry in Ireland. After 12 years, this song and a full studio album of music by the Brobdingnagian Bards is coming into the world. It's called I Will Not Sing Along. It features songs and instrumentals inspired by Celtic music, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Firefly and lots more. We are raising funds on Kickstarter on July 1st. Don't miss it. Subscribe to our mailing list at http://thebards.net --- Brobdingnagian Bards are The Original Celtic Renaissance music duo.
