Geert Dekkers and Alex De Vliegere - GeA-edcuation  Gea-edcuation will be opening the gates of Hell during the Elf Fantasy Fair Arcen 2011 to let the satanic vampire cordis Nigra escape. Because Elfia at that moment is populated by zombies, vampires and other creatures that abhor the sunlight, he cannot wait to seduce these dark undead to cross their own boundaries. He will come towards them with his chest cavity ripped open.

Daredevils can put their hands in his rotting chest and touch his cold black heart. However be careful for voracious maggots, his razor sharp teeth and claws and be on your guard for unexpected happenings...

		JORDON - THE BAGPIPE VAMPIRE He has gone by names, Godehard of Ende, Jack III, Ratcatcher of Elvenking. Nowadays he is better known as Jordon. He wandered around for centuries in Europe, was magician, actor, King of the games, studied at the court of many kings, was a welcome guest at the imperial court of China and sacrificed to the ancient gods of the Sun Pyramid of the Aztecs, and all while hiding his identity as a vampire. With his bagpipes he travels through many countries and captures the souls of his listeners with his wonderful music and play. Old melodies from mythical history to the late medieval music are his tools of trade. After playing with Adivarius, Corvus Corax / Tanzwut und Cantus Buranus he now turns back to his roots and shows us, for the first time at the Elf Fantasy Fair his vampiric identity. He makes old songs glow anew and gives us a glance into the world of his latest project Van Hyde.

THE TEETOTALLERS     The Teetotallers are a group of four young, enthusiastic folk musicians. Since 2009 Herrick, Cathinca, Tijn and Dries together play Irish and Scottish folk music.

Along with cheerful pubsongs and mellow ballads, they can get anyone's feet off the floor with their jigs, reels and polka's. During the Elf Fantasy Fair these musical fellows can be found roaming the grounds, as well as on the stage. Saturday, 17.09.2011 and Sunday, 18.09.2011. www.teetotallers.nl

SERPENTYNE     Mediaeval songs and dance tunes meet with World rhythms... mystic chants in Occitan, Old French and Old English blend with ethnic and mediaeval instruments - reflective and atmospheric at times, energetic and up-tempo at others. Maggie Sand and Serpentyne have been performing their unique take on mediaeval music in venues ranging from UK and European folk, rock and mediaeval music festivals to clubs and a German heavy-metal festival. Driving salterello and estampie dance rhythms from mediaeval Europe are combined with Maggie's exquisite vocals; alternately ethereal and bluesy.

		ELF FANTASY GARBAGE GUARD For a clean, lush Elfia we have, since this year, our very own Elf Fantasy Garbage Guard. Until now just one (and not the brightest we might add) volunteer has applied for this task. A task which he takes very, very seriously. With his aid it must be able to keep Elfia looking spick and span. He is armed to fend off the illiterate!

TRISKEHLE "Song-journeys through the ages" that is what the musicians and singers of this medieval band call their musical concept. Every bandmember sings; they play only on instruments that are typical for the Middle Ages, e.g. Lute or Djembe. Nowadays they are highly in demand to play on many markets. Triskehle have been writing their own material which has been received very well by their audience. "We like to experiment and we can get excited about all sorts of music styles; from old folksongs to good drinkingsongs and even LARP songs that are popular soundtracks to roleplay." Apart from being skilled musicians; they have also become jugglers, entertaining the audience (also the littlest ones) and bringing a smile to their faces. www.triskehle.de.tl.

		ATELIER DELL ARTE Hangplayer Rob Verheul Rob Verheul played as a percussionist for decades a wide variety of musical styles in different bands. After a turbulent life in the music scene he moved from the adrenaline of the west to the peace and tranquility of the beautiful Drenthe in the netherlands. There he created together with his soul mate and artist Lisette Rozendal their own paradise studio: Atelier dell Arte. In this paradise only birdsongs disturbe the silence. In this almost palpable silence he discovered the power of the particular instrument, the Hang. The tones of the hang touch the heart and the soul. This feature makes the hang ideally suited to give a distinct sound for special events. For each event Rob composes a unique story, that sounds more meaningful than a thousand words... www.robverheul.nl.
