The 6th Hobbit TV spot is up on the official movie blog. While only 33 seconds long, we get some new dialogue between Bilbo and Thorin and a few new shots to go with it. Check it out here!

 

Emerald Rose

On Monday we shared with you the very exciting news that Billy Boyd and Beecake will be our headliners for our live show at The One Expected Party in Hollywood next February.  Now we are thrilled to let you know that our favourite Celtic rock band will be back to open the show for us!  Four piece band Emerald Rose have been great friends of TheOneRing.net since we met at DragonCon more than ten years ago, and fans danced the night away to their music at our Oscar parties for The Two Towers and The Return of the King.   Their music ranges from traditional jigs and reels to original folk rock and pop numbers; we’re pretty sure Bilbo would have hired them for his birthday party if he could have!  You can learn more about them here; we can’t wait to welcome them back on to the stage at the Hollywood American Legion on Oscars night – February 24th 2013!

Excited about this party yet?!  Tickets will go on sale very soon!

Here at TheOneRing.net we’re working full steam ahead to get our The One Expected Party subsite up and running, so we can share with you all the fun and excitement we have planned for this stellar event in Los Angeles next February.  You can expect more announcements from us this week, with tickets going on sale very soon – watch this space!  But meanwhile…

We are thrilled and honoured to announce that Billy Boyd and Beecake will be joining us as headliners for The One Expected Party!  Boyd, Rick Martin and Billy Johnston – the trio who make up the Scottish rock band – have agreed to fly over from Glasgow to join us in Hollywood for a night of revelry.  We are delighted that they are able to take time out of their busy schedules to party with us!  The band may have a couple of other gigs on the West Coast whilst they are over; we’ll be sure to keep you informed of any further dates they play.  In the meantime. get ready to buy those tickets – soon! – so you can join us and Beecake in Hollywood on February 24th 2013, to celebrate The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey!
