Congratulations James and Tracey
On Tuesday 21st October 2014, The Wandering Minstrel travelled to Islington Town Hall in London to surprise James and Tracey at their wedding celebration. The couple were just signing the register when in walked the minstrel to their astonishment. James and Tracey had travelled from Boise, Idaho, to get married in london as they love everything British so much. Their friends Jon and Catherine Rushton, back in their hometown had told the minstrel everything about this special couple and he wrote this song all about them, and presented them with a full band production audio CD of the very song, and one of our brand new green screen video DVDs of The Minstrel performing their song in Sherwood Forest.

Lyrics For James and Tracey's song
Congratulations James and Tracey
Now, James and Tracey, It’s your wedding day,
they’ve sent this minstrel here today
You’ve come from Boise Idaho, the potato capital of the world, you know
You’ve travelled to this sceptred Isle because you are such Anglophiles
You love everything British and this might sound bizarre
But you’re more British than most British people are
Chorus
Congratulations James and Tracey on your wedding day
I know today is going to be a wonderful wonderful day
Your Prince Charming’s better looking
than James’ great Uncle Richard III
Now, you’ve conquered William’s descendant, so I've heard
I know how much you love Shakespeare,
that’s the bard, but also the cat
But the cat is fat and lazy and could never write a play like that
And at the outdoor Shakespeare Festival,
a storm blew through it’s clear
James ended up in a black bin bag and Tracey wore a giant clear plastic condom so I hear
Now, James you are an author, you write historical fiction, this is true
You write about the ancient Romans, and the battle of waterloo
You love the Iron duke of Wellington, and I hear that you’ve been seen’
Dressed up as him, in a big red coat,
at a fancy dress party at Halloween
So Now this song is ending, there’s still one thing that’s left to do
We must take a picture with James and Tracey
and with George the monkey too
So friends, Romans and countrymen, as I bid you farewell
I guess it just seems right to say that it’s true that all’s well that ends well
So Congratulations James and Tracey
