Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 -- Great Celtic music just got easier to find for loyal fans of the genre. The Brobdingnagian Bards, a Celtic group specializing in Scottish and Irish folk songs and Science Fiction-based folk has been a strong presence on the web, as well as the touring circuit in clubs and at festivals. Their unique brand of folk music on the autoharp, recorder and mandolin has made them one of the most popular Celtic music groups in the on-line community.

The Bards have performed at venues as varied as The Lord of The Rings Oscar Party and science fiction conventions. They are a perennial favorite at Renaissance Faires from coast-to-coast.

Now after inking a U.S. Distribution deal with boutique distribution house Gestalt Records, The Bards are positioned to stretch their plaid-clad wings a little further.

Lead singer Marc Gunn had this to say about the deal, "Our fans have begged us to get our music in record stores. I'm thrilled that we can finally oblige them."

Gestalt Records focuses on bands that fall outside of the mainstream and would otherwise may not receive the opportunity to be distributed. According to their website:

"The goal of Gestalt is to create an environment that combines the talents of artists who work with dark, industrial, or experimental themes with traditional and non-traditional business resources to create a self-sustaining vehicle for the furtherance of these artists' careers".

Echoing this sentiment, The Bards are dedicated to bringing their brand of Celtic tunes to each and every fan who wants them. There is even a rumor that they may be heading North of the border next, so for our Canadian readers... save your loonies and your toonies for some great Celtic music, soon to be coming your way.
