I love Blackmore's Night, but I'm not sure if a thread for them and them alone would really take off. If this were a general thread for, as you say, "the sort of music you might hear if you hung out at renaissance fairs", I'd be game. :p And in that case, I might for example mention...

That's ok, I figured there wouldn't be alot of responses to it anytime soon, but since very few people even know wbout them, thought it would be a good opportunity for an introduction :)

I love Blackmore's Night. Had 3 or 4 albums and I was on their show when they were in Croatia few years ago. :) Last album that I liked was Ghost of a Rose. Somehow I've got a feeling that their magic was lost in last albums... or maybe it was just me growing up! ;)
