This is a very long rehearsal, just like Weatherstock is a very long event, so just like Weatherstock plan ahead. Make sure you have plenty of liquids and a bit of pie. This is five hours from initial sign up to Open Mic in Bree, and who knows how long that will go on to!
This is Ministock! And it is a very exclusive party. Rub elbows with the Rock Stars of Middle Earth, and be privy to all the back stage preparations. This will get all of us ready to put on this epic event. You are part of something very special--Weatherstock Forever!

We know that in elder days before the fall, the world was fair and mountains tall. Melkor and his minions including the newly risen 'Witch-king of Angmar' have marred Arda and seek to break the will of free peoples and make them slaves. The Lonely Mountain Band will fight to the death, and answer any call in defence of the free peoples of Middle Earth.
