Not a reunion exactly, but  a new beginning! Hobbit Heart's comeback neatly explains why so many bands and artists return: for the  love of music. Having spent a good few months playing alone and as a member of Little Clovers , Amorey  eventually discovered that her hobbit heart still beats strong .

When Amorey's son Peregrin died  it was a tragedy , but it did mean she got back on the road to rebuild her life  with the help of  music . And what a way to return. Every smile and every note is  greeted with cheers and tears and there'll be  many new finer performances in a very near future. 

With their amiable professionalism, total commitment and genuinely caring approach, it’s no wonder that Hobbit Heart  have earned a reputation as being one of the finest hobbit  bands in the Shire

Hobbit Heart, providing live music entertainment that will really get your event going, the hobbit way !

Cloverbottle - March 1 : In the last few days a missing hobbit report has been filed to The Shire Watch by the concerned relatives of Miss Amorey Sweetrose-Took. Miss Sweetrose was last seen over a week ago  walking at night in her own village of Cloverbottle, South Farthing  in clear distress ' There's not an hour goes by without me thinking of her' said her father, Gerebaldo Took from Overhill. Why do some hobbits – at least 20 or 30  a year in the Shire– simply vanish, and can more be done to try to find them and to support those they leave behind? Master Took 's daughter, Amorey, a bright, sociable bard and editor of The Chronicles of Laurelin, disappeared a few days ago after going out one night . "I know families always say that not one day goes by without them thinking about their loved one. But if I'm very honest there's not an hour goes by without me thinking about Amorey,"  Master Took says.

The harp that Miss Sweetrose had with her the evening she disappeared has been recovered from the stream near Overhill , a Shire Watch  spokesperson confirmed this morning.  The Bouders  say that after examination they can confirm that the harp was Amorey's and that her family have been made aware of the development. No other property or trace of Amorey has been found, despite extensive searches. A reward has been set up  by her family and The Chroricles of Laurelin for any informations concerning Miss Amorey Sweetrose-Took whereabouts.  Should you have any informations, please contact the Shire Watch or The Chronicles of Laurelin.
