The competition to choose the new Bard of the West will be held on Saturday.
From the Bard of the West:
I have an amazing job. It has been an extraordinary privilege to stand before the populous of the West and commemorate moments of our history, sing forth calls to action, seek to inspire you all even as you have inspired me. I feel I've grown a lot in the bardic arts and in my performance confidence in my time as Bard of the West. The time has come to seek a successor.
To that end we shall hold a competition on Saturday of Beltane – as early as possible at His Royal Highness's request and to make it more possible for day trippers to compete in or witness the competition. All the populace is invited to come and bear witness to the competition. An early start time will also make it more possible to segue into an open bardic afterward.Categories:
