Bart Zeal
About this bard…
My name is Bart, but don’t let that ‘T’ fool you, for I’m a bard;
a musical storyteller who delights in bringing tales to life.
Sailing on the Northern Viking seas, or strolling through the magical castle of Hogwarts.
Walking through the forests of Fangorn, or even traveling with Space Pirates.
Once every month, I record a new song about their follies and victories!
This website is my virtual kingdom. You can find everything you need to know right here.
The best thing about singing songs is finding enthusiastic listeners, so this is for you!
