About / Biography

Welcome, Adventurer, on our page!

Sárkánykönny (~Tears of the Dragon) was founded by Hungarian larpers in 2007, becoming the first larp-themed band in Hungary. Our genre can be defined as medieval folk-fantasy or fantasy inn music, since we are willing to create the atmosphere of a medieval setting / fantasy inn. Our songs are ready to serve on the following events:

Medieval themed:

  • battle reconstructions and other reenacting events (gaining your troops' morale)
  • medieval and Renaissance-themed feasts (with the main focus of XVth century)
  • weddings

Fantasy themed:

  • larps
  • Renaissance faires
  • pagan festivals
  • again, weddings

and many more.

Make your great adventures memorable with us! Contact us for a legendary offer.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Minimum performance space: 8 meters x 3 meters.
Parking spaces required: 2 to 4 (depending on the number of performers requested).
Accommodation needed close to the event/on site: for all the musicians plus one or two persons (driver, road).
A dressing room is needed, as we play in our attire.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions to the venue. Also, we need to know the number of participants of the event.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

At the moment, we do not have our own sound and lighning system, so it would be most welcome if sounding could be managed with your local team. We have our own technical rider though, so we can send before the event would take place - by request.

In case of need we may borrow or rent some equipment, on your expenses.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we can provide Spotify/DJ service 30 minutes before and after the show, if needed. We are happy to choose the music ourselves which would fit to your planned event.


What are our technical requirements?

To make us fully equipped, we would need the following:
- a mixer with 16 channels (potentially with phantom adapters)
- 10 stands (9 normal and 1 half-sized)
- light service and light engineer
- sound service and sound engineer

We can send you our exact technical rider by request.

We can give you an unplugged experience, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

The top three of our venues are as follows:
1. Végvári Vigasságok, 2019, location: Eger, Hungary. We have done 2 gigs that day, also gave two or three additional street perfomances. Worked with a very good team.
2. Szittya Fesztivál, 2023, location: Pomáz, Hungary. We played right before the headliner band Vágtázó Csodaszarvas.
3. Nándorfehérvári Emléknapok, 2024, location: Szeged, Hungary. We were the headliners of this medieval festival that year.


What's your favourite type of event?

We like playing on bigger festivals and smaller concerts alike, though more personal and smaller events are our specialties.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Back in 2007, we started playing at medieval themed events and larps - we play for over 18 years now, with tons of gigs behind our backs.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

In the beginning, the most influential ones were: Iron Maiden, Blackmore's Night, Corvus Corax, Alhana (HU) and Hollóének Hungarica (HU). Nowadays our music is influenced by Bordó Sárkány (HU), Loreena McKennitt, Irdorath, Faun, Wardruna - and many more in this genre.

Greatest song of all time: Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

It all depends what is required from the client or the event organizer. The longest show in one take lasted for more than 2 hours and we are happy to do it once more.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We had many outdoor shows and we are willing to play outside any time (once the weather allows outside performance). We need similar technical equipment as for inside.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn and even write a new song for our client, by request. We would limit this to 3 songs to learn OR one song to write.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

The most iconic review from our show is when one of our new fans "felt himself in the Heroes of Might and Magic game". Another one "felt himself in a hobbit hole inside Hobbiton for the whole time of the concert". That is what we play our music for - worths every efforts.
