NOTE: We as a group are very safety conscious and take great care in all situations, when safety is concerned. 
We do not on a regular basis, involve children in sword play.

Highlander Warriors bring a touch of Renaissance to Silicon Valley

By Julie Davis Berry

Executive Editor

 

Long ago in a land far away men wore long hair and kilts and dueled to the death with swords to prove whose clan was the better, the stronger…and women, well they just looked really good in their long flowing dresses and tended to the wounded men or celebrated with the triumphant warriors.

 

But wait, you don’t have to travel back in time to experience this scene you simply have to attend a performance by the Highlander Warriors. The HW perform ‘sword theater’, a precisely choreographed re-enactment of the sword duels of Scottish Warriors from days of old. They perform at Renaissance Fairs, The Campbell Highland Games, and are a popular attraction at middle schools in the Bay Area or anywhere there is a desire for a ‘grand Scottish battle.’

 

Highlander Warrior Founder Richard Brown, has always had a passion for his Scottish heritage and after attending several Renaissance Fairs became frustrated that they “had so little live steel fighting. We wanted to show them how it could be done. Once we started we realized that there was a market out there for this,” he said. “We love it when people say that they felt like they were transported to another time while watching our performance.”

 

Sword fighting is not without danger though. Last year Brown almost lost an ear in a sword fight. “We get lots of cuts and bruises and need the occasional stitches,” he said with a manly shrug.

 

The group was a huge hit at Rolling Hills Middle School’s Renaissance Day recently. “Their show was awesome!” said seventh grader Cynthia Anderson and several of her friends. Chase Cowen said that the warrior’s performance was his favorite part of the day. Perla Gonzalez especially enjoyed meeting the warriors in person after the show. “They were teaching me how to hold the swords and how to fence. When you see them out there fighting you think they are really mean but when you talk to them in person they are really nice.”

 

The warriors come from many different backgrounds but all of them have been sword fighting for years. These days Brown works hard at making the shows a success, but at one time was a Shipping and receiving coordinator for Sun Micro Systems  ; Jeff Campbell works in construction and his wife Jen is a wedding coordinator specializing in Scottish weddings; Phread Cichowski is a computer engineer; Michael Garret is a minister and performs wedding ceremonies, and is also a bartender at The Kingshead Pub in Campbell where the group got their beginnings.  Also a special thanks to Pipers: Cat Griffin and Jay Tuttle, for the grand tunes they played for the enjoyment of all. They belong to the Los Gatos (Montesereno Police Pipes And Drums Band)

 

 

“Sam and Barbara Summerscales over at Kingshead gave us our first paid show and they are like family to us,” said Brown.”We meet there on Thursday nights because its Celtic night and we wear our kilts and hang out with all of our friends. It’s a great community of people and we have a lot of fun.”

 

The Highlander Warriors are available for fairs, festivals, corporate events and school performances and can be reached at (510) 797-7895 or visit their website for pictures and more information at www.diarmid.com

 

 

Richard Brown (alias Diarmid Campbell) is the founder of the Highlander Warriors. The warrior clearly loves what he does and says, “It is really important to never let the child in you die.”

 

 

The Highlander Warriors who performed for an appreciative crowd at Rolling Hills Middle School were (l. to r.) Mike Garrett (alias Wardrop Campbell), Jeff Flanders (alias Argyle McCool), Jeff Campbell (alias Angus Campbell), Jen Campbell, Richard Brown (alias Diarmid Campbell), Erica Viola ( alias Caitlin Urquhart) Jen Frey (alias Jen Rockwell), Eric Frey (Aaron Rockwell), and Phread Cichowski (alias Duncan Campbell.)

Richard Brown

The Misunderstanding of Man's Beliefs

There has never been anything in the short span of mans existence on
earth quite as all engulfing as, what he calls his beliefs. For his beliefs he has built great
civilizations and for his beliefs he has destroyed them, through the ages and many sages he
has wrought blissful happiness. He has also committed atrocities and unspeakable
crimes and with these thoughts in mind he has changed the path of time. Man's beliefs seem
to be contradictory, for he says to sow the good seed, he says love your neighbor
then because of his beliefs he destroys them. Because of this double edged sword he says
one thing, and because of this or that belief he does another, never really concerned
with the well being of his brother. Now he stands on the edge of eternity, he sees
clearly what he has done, and still continues to believe he is the only one. If he had truly
believed in his beliefs, he would have nourished this world as a plant by the sun. If he had
believed his beliefs the whole human race would have won.
