<h4>Melodies Across Middle-earth</h4>Pipes &amp; Petals is an English-speaking band on Orcrist, led by Larthaider of the UK, a minstrel who has played Lotro since 2011, with real-world diplomas in music and editing and theatricals. Every song you hear has taken him at least 2+ hours of magic to make it sound great for you, the beloved players of LOTRO.We roam Middle-earth turning familiar, often Americanized based tunes into lively shows in Bree. Particularly 70s-00's music that makes you feel good we are most interested in.If we don’t know songs from your homeland, worry not - we may simply not have heard them yet. Suggestions are always welcome.<h4>A Small Fellowship With a Big Sound</h4>Our Discord is our campfire: a friendly place where musicians gather to practise, chat, and plan performances. New players of any skill level are welcome to join the fun.<h4>Where Joy Meets Melody</h4>From bustling Bree concerts to quiet festival moments, we aim to bring laughter, warmth, and unforgettable music wherever we play.Follow the sound of Pipes and Petals… and join us on our musical journey.

Experience the Magic of Music with Pipes & Petals

The “visionary” band leader with more ideas than sense. Known for shouting “one more rehearsal!” right after everyone’s logged off. Once tried to schedule a concert during maintenance. Still somehow makes it all work...mostly through enthusiasm and snacks.

Larthaider Bandmaster

Class: Minstrel Hobbit

An Elf devoted to fashion statements in the band. Often putting it before his music. He spends far more time with his mirror and wardrobe than in rehearsal, and arrives immaculately dressed. He is clearly hoping to impress a few admirers in the crowd - even if to sacrifice punctuality.

Almor Almosthere

Class: Minstrel Elf (on break)

Lunary is our biggest fan turned VIP photographer, usually found chasing the perfect moonlit angle around West Bree. She captures everyone’s finest moments, but criticise her looks and your next portrait may mysteriously disappear.

Lunary

Class: Champion Hobbit

Tough as Elbrus and loud as her own laugh, Mirthpaw pairs sharp claws with sharper jokes. Sometimes the kind that’ll make you laugh...and then wonder if you should’ve laughed! Fueled by mead and mischief and fierce about fashion, make sure you arrive stylish - or else!

Mirthpaw Moguchka

Class: Beorning (on break)

Ranasara is the elegant elf who claims she joined for the music… but really she’s here to stop the others wandering off, breaking things, or playing the wrong key. Can pick up any instrument and instantly outplay the person who owns it. Some say it’s talent. Others say it’s elven magic.

Ranasara Pipes&Petals

Class: Minstrel Elf

A mysterious power keeps him youthful.. We are not jealous at all. Known for pausing mid-performance just to “let the audience feel the tension.” Has written a three-part ballad about how great he looks in blue. Nobody asked for it, but it’s actually quite good.

Interlude Immortalish

Quiet off-stage, thunder on-stage. Has perfected the art of saying everything with a single raised eyebrow. Keeps time, keeps order, and occasionally keeps score. Rumour has it she once threatened to replace Larth with a metronome.

Silversong Sasspetal

A dwarf of unshakable confidence and questionable patience. Loud in laughter, louder in opinion, and somehow always in the middle of the action, even when there isn’t any. Claims to be “just here to help,” yet somehow ends up leading every charge, conversation, and buffet line. Loyal, bold, and impossible to ignore.

Ludvind Loudbellow

Class: Champion Dwarf

Elegant, patient, and the glue that keeps this chaos from falling apart. Fluent in three elvish dialects and fluent in rolling her eyes at Larthaider’s “great ideas.” The crowd loves her... mostly because she remembers all the lyrics.

Songleaf Singaholic

Serious face, mysterious past, and probably the only one in tune. Nobody’s sure if he’s a perfectionist or just pretending to be... but he’s definitely got the best hair in the band. When he smiles, everyone gets worried.

Elriffs Elfbiscuit

Cheerful, charming, and unstoppable once she starts humming. Has a talent for turning any quiet moment into a singalong. Keeps the band’s spirits high (and occasionally its volume higher). Probably has glitter in every bag she owns.

Merrychord Marmalade

Always late, always lost, and always accidentally in the perfect place at the perfect time. His dancing has caused three near stage collapses and one unexpected encore. Somehow everyone forgives him because he brings the best sandwiches.

Our shows are all about adding to the festival atmosphere, with songs to make you smile, familiar faces, and plenty of little moments to enjoy with friends old and new.Whether you stopped by for a short while or stay for the whole performance, we hope to have added a little extra cheer to your time at the festival.

Spring Festival!

Weekends were made for mischief and music! Catch us in Bree and surrounding areas as we turn cobblestones into a dance floor, and fill the air with songs that even the most serious guards can’t help tapping their boots to. Our events are on Saturdays between 3-6pm GMT onwards. You may see us at other times!If you cannot see us, perhaps we are on a different town layer. Try porting away somewhere and come back again.

Rock concert in Merriweather Post Pavilion

2 lessons learned from a real rock’n’roll concert (because that’s what a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club live is): worst nightmare ever for the security since they have to pick crowdsurfing people every 30secs; no queue at the wardrobe because nobody can separate himself from his leather jacket

Shot from Riot Fest music festival in Chicago

During a show of Melt Festival when Nina Kraviz was playing behind the decks. The crowd went wild during her set which was extremely good. I was dancing with my camera in my hand while taking shots. The smoke and light hit the people just right and I quickly climbed on the shoulders of a friend to take this shot.
