A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’ — a solid 80’s banger with an even more solid (denser?) music video. And this is a video of French bardcore band Courseval performing a cover of the song with medieval instruments along the River Seine. I could drink warm ale in my local tavern and
This is a video of Algal the Bard (seen previously) barding it up romantic style and reimagining the Star Wars Imperial March as a medieval serenade fit for wooing a princess. Just probably not Leia — that’s her dad’s song. I imagine he’s a sore subject on a first date.
Seen here doing his best Geralt of Rivia, this is a cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ as performed by bardcore musician Algal the Bard on classic medieval instruments like the “Lute-guitar, Irish bouzouki, Tin Whistle, drums and Hurdy Gurdy.” And how appropriate, considering medieval knights WERE iron men.

Lovingly crafted by maker of things Crescent Shay over the course of (I assume) many centuries, this chainmail cocktail dress is constructed of 2,652 pennies. Inspired by scalemail, to make the dress Shay first had to collect all the pennies (more than she anticipated), wash them, then drill three holes
This is a video of Algal the Bard performing a bardcore cover of The Mandalorian theme with a variety of instruments. It’s nice, but it’s not really that different sounding than the original. As a matter of fact, this could just be the original with a video of a dude
