Every member of the Fellowship is listed, as well as Arwen, Thorin, and the One Ring. The characters and outfits are easily recognizable, from Pippin’s scarf and Merry’s yellow vest to Arwen’s blue gown...

We always go to Killarney in June for the AIMS awards, but I'm half afraid they'll be shut down by then. They're using all those names without a license!

She has a few other Tolkien songs too, though I haven't listened to the others yet.

Had to happen eventually...

I could see getting obsessed with building something so detailed and beautiful and minuscule. The bit that most blew me away was the well-stocked pantry! Making all those tiny foods by hand. . . .
