The Bards of Bruery are William
Edward Drynkette (Will E. Drynkette) and Phillip McGlass. They are from the small village of Bruery just outside the town of
Alesburgshire on the Southwest Eastern most Northern border of
England which is as far away from London as you can get. ~ They met
one fateful day as they woke up next to one another in a ditch and
realized they were both soaked in stout. Hence the name that they
took on.
They wander aimlessly around the villages
and county-sides looking to make only enough for another pint. Perhaps
they will be in your area soon…if so, be sure to put a few coins in
their hands and they’ll play you a tune or two.
Willy Drynkette started singing at an early age and was
quickly asked to stop by his neighbors. His loud and very annoying
voice could be heard bellowing from the roof-tops even though he had not
yet experienced puberty. The resounding squeaks were often mistaken for
dying cats which led him to take up playing the tin whistle…a similar
sound the way Willy plays it. His voice has since gotten better.
Phillip McGlass plays acoustic guitar and
sings harmony. His favorite beverage is any ale which he doesn’t have
to pay for. The son of Scottish parents who lost him in a bet at the
age of six, he spent most of his youth in the employ of a storyteller
traveling from town to town. Although he can’t remember most of his
younger days, he does have a vague recollection of a sheep that was his
best friend.
