What is a BARD?
• “Bard” is a Gaelic/Scottish/Celtic word meaning to “raise one’s voice in praise”.

• Bards were first employed to compose and then sing or tell stories of their patrons or the family of their patrons.
![Page 34: Foundations of storytelling1c](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062702/5549b81bb4c905fc7f8b4af2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The first and most famous “English”Storyteller or Bard was named Taliesin.
