Musical Performance
The troupe Cliar Cu Buidhe was founded in 2003, the result of a dream Domhnall shared with Beathog nic Dhonnchaidh, to share the music and stories, of and about the SCA period, in a unique, entertaining way. Over the years, the troupe has performed in many venues: for Coronations, Baronial Investitures and Anniversary Celebrations, Royal Lunches, Queens Teas, and too many wars and tourneys to list. Cliar Cu Buidhe has recorded over 80 songs, all of which were either written in period or maintain a medieval flavor through subject, lyric and performance style. All music performed by the Cliar Cu Buidhe troupe was either written, or arranged, by Bard Elder Domhnall and partner Beathog nic Dhonnchaidh.
Membership in the troupe is restricted to members of the household of the same name, Cliar Cu Buidhe. Although a few personnel changes have been made over the years, the troupe has been able to maintain it's popularity, and has performed regularly throughout the Kingdoms of Caid and Atenveldt. Currently, troupe members have scattered over three kingdoms, so it is not possible for the troupe to appear in its entirety. Fortunately, for fans of the troupe, Cliar Cu Buidhe recorded five CDs, which remain available.
Members of the troupe Cliar Cu Buidhe are:
- Domhnall mac Pharlain
- Beathog nic Dhonnchaidh
- Eabha inghean Domhnaill
- Maren Lauritsdatter
- Elva Mac Askil
- Fréderic de Cherbourg
