Stage and Lane performers for 2011 Scarborough

[Berit]

Hey everybody,
Thought that I would give you all a heads up on where we stand on performers who have returned their contracts and been scheduled for this season's Scarborough Renaissance Festival.

War Horse Productions (Joust), Last Chane Forever (Birds of Prey Show), Don Juan and Miguel, Wine and Alchemy, the Fire Whip Show, the German Brothers, Daniel Duke of Danger, Queen Anne's Lace, Fool Hearty, Turtle Man, Jim Hancock, Donal Hinely, Stonhenj, and SloanWolfe (Bagpipe Band, Yippee!). I will try to keep everyone posted as we get in new contracts.

The new Crown Stage is unbelievable and will host a series of rotating acts on a one or two week basis.  Our Entertainment Director is trying to line up some pretty incredible acts that I think you will really like.

Wishing you music, merriment and magic,
Sir Berit of Miller

Very much looking forward to 2011 season! Can't wait to see the Crown Stage.  You planning on keeping it cool for the first few weekends?

[Lady Kett]

Huzzah to Bagpipes!!!! Crown Stage definitely sounding like a fun place.

So will there be a full season of bagpipes this year, or will it be a limited run?

[Berit]

@Merlin - You're the weather wizard.  I am counting on you to take care of that.

There will indeed be a full season of bagpipes.  All of our entertainers will be full season contracts this year with the exception of the rotating acts that are sharing the Crown Stage with Don Juan and Miguel.

I'll do what I can, Sir Berit, but the further I am from my own shire, the less power I have over weather...yeah, that sounds good. Let's go with that excuse. 

[BagPipeBabe]

CAN'T WAIT!!!! I am so glad there will be a bagpipe band this year. The fair last year was too quiet.
AND with Lars Sloan and Jimmy Michell they have to be good!!

[ArielCallista]

Faire was so quiet last year with out the bagpipes in the background...any word on Zilch the Torysteller?

If anyone cares, there will be the same King Henry VIII and Queen Anne Boleyn as well as Queen Margaret o' Scotland, just in-case you were wondering.

We all care, your majesty. So glad the Queen of Scotland will return also..... rumors floated about that she may not.

KUDOS to Scarby for getting the Fire Whip guy back also..... that was AWESOME !

My dad will have to handle the weather for opening weekend.... Queen Bonnie and I will take care of the rest of faire's weather. I'm cooking up something in the line of 72-77 degrees... with a very slight wind to cool it down a bit... rain on Tuesday thru Thursday...clear all weekend long. How's that?

[Merlin the Elder]

I'll do what I can, son...but seeing how I have a little more fur, I'm going to try to keep the temperature down a few degrees...

[Merlin]

Down is good.... up is bad.
